2022 could be an interesting, make-or-break type year for the Michigan football program, in that, if the Wolverines could find a way to repeat as Big Ten champions this upcoming season, it could cement similar success in the future. A fall-off could send the maize and blue into a ‘one-hit wonder’ type category.
With the bulk of the offense returning but a lot of familiar faces but new starters on defense, the 2022 team will need a lot of production from these key figures, those who we’ve categorized as the most important players for the Wolverines this next year.
Certainly, with spring ball and fall camp still in the distant future, additions and subtractions can and will be made to the list, but here in winter conditioning, here is who the Wolverines will need to rely on if they’re destined to claim the mantle of the Big Ten’s top team.
