In just a little over a week, Michigan football will begin preparation in earnest for the 2023 season, as players are set to report to fall camp on Aug. 1 and the first practice on Aug. 2.
The maize and blue have the eighth-most returning talent in college football, which includes starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, as well as running backs Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards.
However, while some are co-starters, like the aforementioned running backs, there’s technically but one player who can fill certain starting positions. Here is who is likely slated to enter fall camp in 2023 as the first man up for the Michigan Wolverines.
