Michigan Wolverines prepare for 2026 season under new coach Kyle Whittingham

Summary

The Michigan Wolverines are entering the 2026 season with hopes of a turnaround after a disappointing 2025 campaign that ended with a 9-4 record and a Citrus Bowl loss to Texas. The team is led by new head coach Kyle Whittingham, who has a successful track record from his time at Utah. Key players include five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood and edge rusher John Henry Daley, who transferred from Utah. The Wolverines aim for improvement, particularly on offense where they struggled last season. They will open their season on September 5 against Western Michigan.
