JB Brown hoping for more explosive special teams returns in 2025

The Michigan Wolverines were elite in many areas during their run to the National Championship in 2023, including in one area that often gets overlooked — special teams. Michigan had a very good special teams unit with James Turner (kicker) and Tommy Doman (punter).

Semaj Morgan was also electric as a return man as a freshman that season. However, under the leadership of special teams coordinator JB Brown in 2024, the overall play took a step back. Of course, Dominic Zvada was one of the best kickers in the country, but Doman took a massive step back and entered the transfer portal this offseason, and the return game was non-existent at times.
