Michigan football senior Makari Paige leads the Wolverines' safeties into 2024 following the injury to Rod Moore in spring practice; U-M adds Tennessee transfer Wesley Walker, former Michigan State starter Jaden Mangham
Just one week away from Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis, excitement builds for the 2024 college football season. Fall camps across the country are just around the corner, and we are now less than 50 days away from Michigan Football’s season-opener against Fresno State on Aug. 31.
Coming off arguably its best season in program history, the Wolverines bring another loaded roster into 2024 in the form of “Team 145”. In preparation for the upcoming year, it’s a good time to break down each position group for the Wolverines with.
Regardless, the loss of Moore is a significant one for the Wolverines. Michigan probably wouldn’t have added the two safeties out of the transfer portal that it did this spring had Moore not been injured , but we’d still much rather have him healthy and able to play in 2024. It was Moore who had the game-winning interception against Ohio State last season, and he’s been a stalwart of the back end of the Wolverines’ defense each of the last two seasons.
After the addition of Walker, Michigan also added a transfer from its in-state rival, Michigan State, by landing safety. At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Mangham is built similarly to Paige and their playing styles are similar. The mostly likely scenario for 2024 is that Mangham will be Paige’s backup this season, though the rising junior will likely be a part of a rotation on the back end.
