Minnesota's Rashod Bateman made headlines this offseason when he opted out of college football.
Then the All-American receiver made headlines again when he opted back into the season.
And make no mistake: Michigan football is well aware of Bateman entering this Saturday's season opener against the Golden Gophers (7:30 p.m., ABC).
Bateman, who caught 60 passes for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2019, could be the top receiver the Wolverines face all season. And that's a tall task for a secondary that had to replace three starters this offseason including cornerback Ambry Thomas, who opted out of the season.
