The Broncos return with some key players to keep an eye on. Quarterback Broc Lowry is back in action, having thrown for 1,803 yards and nine touchdowns last season while also adding 14 rushing touchdowns. Running back Jalen Buckley, who topped 1,003 rushing yards in 2025, will also pose a substantial threat to the Wolverines’ defense.
For Michigan, the roster is brimming with potential, notably featuring consensus top recruit Bryce Underwood at quarterback, alongside five-star freshman running back Savion Hiter.
