Locked On Wolverines - Daily Podcast On Michigan Wolverines Football & Basketball

We continue our summer lookahead series now discussing the tight ends, and how that position group -- featuring talented upperclassmen Erick All, Luke Schoonmaker, Joel Honigford, and Carter Selzer -- could likely fare for Michigan football this fall. Then, we discuss the two emerging TEs in Matthew Hibner and Louis Hansen, and why they should continue their patience, as well as the freshmen, Colston Loveland and Marlin Klein.

Michigan football has a wealth of wide receivers heading into 2022. From Ronnie Bell returning after an early-season injury, to Cornelius Johnson, Roman Wilson, A.J. Henning, Andrel Anthony, and Mike Sainristil, there's a lot of returning talent. And that's not even mentioning the three standout freshmen -- Darrius Clemons, Amorion Walker, and Tyler Morris. We break down what to expect from all of them, how they fit into the offense, and what the position group could look like in 2022....

It's been a long time that we've had a Michigan Mailbag, but it's back, and it's on the correct day! Getting into your Michigan football and basketball hypotheticals, including thoughts about the potential dissolving of Big Ten divisions, opinion on if the Wolverines have to play Ohio State twice due to that, roster and personnel thoughts, how this team may stack up to previous ones, which freshmen could stand out this year, how J.J. McCarthy is coming along, what will happen if he wins the...

We're back onto our position previews, this time, looking at one of Michigan football's most dynamic positions in 2021: the running backs. Yes, the Wolverines lose Hassan Haskins, but with Donovan Edwards stepping up, along with Blake Corum, there's still a lot to like. We delve into Corum and Edwards, and then discuss the rest of the unit, as well as some tertiary production expected from some other positional players.

One of our favorite regular guests joins the show as Anthony Treash from Pro Football Focus comes on to give us his expectations for the Michigan football program in 2022. Why he's higher on the Wolverines than most, what he expects from the maize and blue, where he's confident, where he's not, and why Ohio State still poses a significant challenge, despite what happened in 2021. Then, getting to the opening odds for Michigan football as other outlets are reporting, what we think is fair and...

We're in the May doldrums when it comes to revenue sports, so we're starting a new series to keep us going! Starting with the most important position of all: the quarterbacks. First, we discuss the pros and cons of incumbent starter Cade McNamara, delving into his experience, what he brings to the table, and more. Then, we do the same with J.J. McCarthy, who's expected to challenge him as Michigan football's starting signal caller. Where he's already shining and what he needs to do to see...

We're finally back after a bit of a hiatus, and we welcome back former Michigan football tight end and Mackey Award-winner Jake Butt to help us reacclimate. On Monday's episode, Butt shares his thoughts on the biggest issues and storylines surrounding the 2022 college football season as they currently exist, from the NIL and transfer landscape, to new high-profile coaches at big-time schools, to the Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry, to the SEC and Big Ten conference dominance, and more! Built...

Huge show on Tuesday, as PFF's Trevor Sikkema joins the show to discuss Michigan football players in the NFL draft! We talk about the ongoing debate regarding Georgia's Travon Walker vs. Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson -- who will go first and why? And Hutch doesn't go first overall, how far does he drop? How David Ojabo's injury affects his draft status, why Daxton Hill is starting to look more and more like a first-rounder, what Hassan Haskins' future NFL role might be, and who could surprise...

The Michigan Mailbag is finally BACK, though a full week late. But, given that we're in the offseason, there was no question that wasn't pertinent! In this episode, we cover where some of the defensive production will come from, who will step up, why recruiting has been slow -- and why we're not worried -- a few Michigan basketball questions, and much, much more!

It's been a long time coming, but Locked On Wolverines regular and legendary former Michigan football tight end Jake Butt is back to talk about his experience calling Michigan's spring game. What he had to do to prepare, what he saw out on the field, going position-by-position, what it will take for the Wolverines to be successful, and much, much more.

College football media tends to have an awfully short memory. Perhaps too short. When a team is good one season, they're automatically expected to be great the following year. Of course, there are some exceptions -- Texas and USC come to mind, as they're annually expected to be great, no matter what happened the year before. But Michigan? Sometimes it's in the Texas/USC boat. Other times, not so much. Advanced analytics expects Michigan to be good, but Mike Farrell, formerly of Rivals, put...

Last time we talked to PFF director of content Austin Gayle, the Pro Football Focus team had just announced the new podcast series, 'Hutch,' which documents Aidan Hutchinson's recruitment and rise throughout his college football career. Now, two months later, the podcast is completed, and set to release on Wednesday, April 13, with four parts, each an hour long. We discuss the process with Gayle, what makes this series different, how fans will learn more about the Michigan star, and much,...

FINALLY! After a couple week hiatus, the Michigan Mailbag is BACK! We return with plenty of questions about what to expect this fall when Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy battle it out for the starting quarterback position. Also, who impressed during the spring game, some road game talk, as well as recruiting, particularly at QB, where the Wolverines try to get Dante Moore in 2023 and CJ Carr in 2024. We delve into that and much more in the latest Michigan Mailbag. Built Bar Built Bar is a...

We're a few days delayed, but Michigan football held its annual spring game on Saturday at The Big House, and there was a lot to dissect. From the defensive battle, to newcomers on both sides of the ball, to how Cade McNamara and the other quarterbacks did, we break it all down -- what went well, what maybe didn't, and where it doesn't really matter.

On Wednesday night, Michigan football announced that former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- perhaps more famous for kneeling during the national anthem before NFL games -- is the Wolverines' honorary captain for Saturday's spring game. Of course, there has since been a lot of controversy among much of the maize and blue faithful. We give our stance as to why it's relatively inane in our eyes. Also, digging into some of the things that Kris Jenkins Jr., Jaylen Harrell, and...

It's been an interesting offseason, from a production and non-revenue sports standpoint. Michigan athletics is enjoying an incredible boon, and while there's been excitement surrounding women's basketball and men's hockey, spring football just doesn't seem like it's generating the same kind of interest as it once has. We discuss that, but before we do, we get into things that Michigan football defensive line coach Mike Elston said on Tuesday, along with tight ends coach Grant Newsome. We...
