Ann Arbor — He has been “Big Mike” since arriving at Michigan in 2016 from Detroit Cass Tech.
But these days, as Michael Onwenu prepares during spring practice for his final college season, he wants people to know there’s more to him than just his massive physique. Onwenu is now listed at 6-foot-3, 350 pounds, down from the 375 he was listed — perhaps embellished on the low side — his freshman year, when he played roles on the offensive and defensive lines.
Onwenu has been locked in at right guard most of his college career, has made 21 starts in 33 games, and is among the four returning offensive line starters.
