Michigan Spent August On Two Freshmen. The Third Receiver Job Went To A Junior With Six Starts.

The last open job in Michigan's offense went to Channing Goodwin, a junior who started six games at receiver last season and caught 12 passes for 148 yards. The candidates August preferred were Jaime Ffrench, Salesi Moa and Travis Johnson, and Michigan's own game notes say what they have done: Ffrench caught one pass for six yards at Texas, and neither freshman has caught a college pass at all. Michigan also lost about half of its receivers' 2025 receptions, which is why the third spot is worth an argument. The offense's own starting alignment lists two receiver positions and a flex, so the job Whittingham just filled is a rotation job rather than a line in a starting lineup.
