4 remaining Michigan Football questions following the 2025 spring game

In the aftermath of the annual spring game, there are plenty of questions that still need to be answered as the Michigan Wolverines gear up for the 2025 campaign. Here are our biggest remaining questions for the Wolverines as spring camp officially came to a close on Saturday.

QB competition takes center stage

The most high profile storyline is at quarterback, where all eyes on Saturday were on Bryce Underwood and Jadyn Davis. Underwood appears to be the favorite to win the starting job, but there is plenty of room for improvement after he went 12-for-25 for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Most of his yardage came on the final play of the game as he connected with tight end Jalen Hoffman for an 88-yard touchdown, but there were several plays that showcased his impressive skillset. Underwood has a long way to go, but he flashed dynamic potential and elite arm talent at times.

Sherrone Moore said the competition will continue through fall camp, so we won’t know who’s the starting guy until the week of the first game.

Go-to WR to be determined

Following a disappointing 2024 campaign that included a severe lack of production from the wide receiver room, the Wolverines desperately need to find a go-to target heading into 2025. Michigan wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy thinks Indiana transfer Donaven McCulley could step into that role, but he had just one catch for 25 yards in the spring game.

There is depth with Fredrick Moore, Semaj Morgan, Channing Goodwin, Andrew Marsh and Jamar Browder expected to play significant roles alongside McCulley, but no one has separated themselves yet. Goodwin led all receivers with three catches in the spring game, while McCulley and Marsh each had just one reception.

Secondary is filled with talent but still unsettled

Michigan’s secondary has elite potential, but exact roles are still being defined. Jyaire Hill and Zeke Berry are solidified as the cornerbacks as of now, but the nickel corner and safety spots are still to be determined. Brandyn Hillman, Mason Curtis, the Metcalf brothers, and Rod Moore — once he’s healthy — are all strong options. Depth and versatility is a strength in the secondary, but specific alignments must be settled on in the coming months. Jeremiah Lowe and Tevis Metcalf were standout performers in the spring game as well, combining for three interceptions.

Right guard, left tackle race appears to be open

The Wolverines’ offensive line should be solid this season, but several questions linger as the starting right guard race seems to be open. Nathan Efobi appears to be the favorite, but that spot is far from settled.

Elsewhere, Evan Link and freshman Andrew Babalola both got run at left tackle in the spring game, with each having their share of ups and downs. Transfer Brady Norton has also practiced at left tackle this spring, so he could factor into the final battle as well.

Left guard Giovanni El-Hadi, center Greg Crippen and right tackle Andrew Sprague appear to be settled into their respective spots, so we’ll have to see where the left tackle and right guard positions are at in fall camp.
