Michigan Sets March 17 Spring Start, April 18 Spring Game, Names Four Spring Captains

Player voting set the spring leadership, with broadcast plans still pending.

Overview

  • The Wolverines scheduled 15 spring practices beginning March 17, culminating in the Spring Game at Michigan Stadium on April 18.
  • Bryce Underwood, Jordan Marshall, Trey Pierce and Rod Moore were selected as spring captains by their teammates.
  • An 11-player Spring 2026 leadership council was announced, also chosen by player vote, with full-season captains to be decided during fall camp.
  • Kickoff time and game format were not released; last year’s scrimmage aired on tape delay and some outlets report this year’s broadcast could be live.
  • This marks the program’s first spring under head coach Kyle Whittingham, and reporting differs on whether the leadership council is a longstanding practice or a new emphasis.
