With plenty of leadership returning on defense and new playmakers coming in on offense, this year’s team has the pieces to make some noise in the Big Ten. Here’s a look at the Michigan Wolverines who could lead that charge for the offense and defense in 2025.
Derrick Moore
Retaining Derrick Moore was arguably one of the biggest wins of the offseason for the coaching staff. With Josaiah Stewart gone, Moore’s decision to return gives the Wolverines a top tier pass rusher and proven leader.
Ranked the No. 10 edge rusher in the nation by PFF heading into 2025, Moore is coming off a breakout year that saw him finish with 23 tackles, six tackles for loss and four sacks.
