Michigan football is starting to lose some of its standout players to the NFL draft, with Mason Graham, Colston Loveland, Will Johnson, and Myles Hinton all announcing they’ll seek their professional futures. But, as is the case every year, some who could go pro decide to come back.
And two edge rushers for the Wolverines look like they’ll be returning in 2025.
MLive’s Aaron McMann spoke to EDGEs Derrick Moore and TJ Guy at the Will Johnson toy drive at Somerset Collection in Troy on Saturday, and both players told him that they intend to return to Ann Arbor for another year.
Roster news: Michigan edge rushers Derrick Moore and TJ Guy both told @MLive today that they plan to return in 2025. “I want to leave Michigan the right way,” Moore said. “I want to stay,” Guy added. https://t.co/7RruKs1NC2

Moore, a junior, was a starter for the entire season and had 19 tackles, four for loss, and two sacks in 2024. Guy was a backup who also got some time starting with injuries to Moore and Josaiah Stewart, and he managed 29 tackles, seven for loss, and 5.5 sacks.
With that duo returning, Michigan ostensibly has its starting duo for 2025 at EDGE, then will just need to work in depth with players such as Cameron Brandt, Lugard Edokpayi, and others likely figuring into the mix.
