The Wolverines finally put it all together on the ground en route to three straight wins to close what was considered by most to be an up-and-down season in that department. The Wolverines doubled down on their success on the ground this offseason, bringing in former five-star Alabama commit Justice Hayes in the transfer portal.
After struggling to establish a consistent rushing attack for much of the season, the Wolverines found their groove on the ground when it mattered most. Behind a revitalized offensive line and a renewed commitment to the run game, they closed the year with three straight wins, leaning heavily on their rushing attack to power past opponents. It was a fitting conclusion to what had been an up-and-down season in that department, leaving fans optimistic about the direction of the team’s ground game moving forward.
That optimism only grew in the offseason as the Wolverines doubled down on their newfound success, making a major splash in the transfer portal. They landed former five-star Alabama commit Justice Hayes, a dynamic and explosive running back with the potential to be a game-changer in their backfield. Hayes brings a blend of speed, vision, and power that could immediately elevate Michigan’s rushing attack to another level. With his arrival, the Wolverines appear poised to build on their late-season momentum and establish themselves as a dominant force on the ground in the coming year.
