Tight end Jalen Hoffman is looking to increase his contributions to Michigan Football for the upcoming 2026 season. Although he showed potential during the 2024 spring game, Hoffman's playtime in the last two seasons has mostly been limited to special teams. Currently facing competition from starters like Zack Marshall, Hoffman must prove himself during fall camp to earn more playing time. His previous performances suggest a chance for a breakout season, particularly with uncertainties surrounding the tight end position.
- •Hoffman was a standout in the 2024 spring game.
- •He has played in 13 games but has recorded minimal statistics.
- •Zack Marshall is the likely starter at tight end but lacks extensive experience.
- •Hoffman needs to demonstrate skills during fall camp to gain a regular spot.
- •His role could increase if Marshall underperforms.
