The Michigan Wolverines have built their success on the heels of a dominant offensive line, and in 2025, Greg Crippen will finally enter the offseason as the presumed starter at center. With transfers Dominick Giudice and Raheem Anderson departing the program, and Michigan opting not to pursue another center via the transfer portal, the pathway seems clear for Crippen to make his mark.
Crippen’s journey has been one of patience and perseverance. The Northborough, Massachusetts native and former four-star recruit out of IMG Academy arrived in Ann Arbor with high expectations. However, his path to playing time was blocked by a string of veteran talents, beginning with Andrew Vastardis in 2021.
