Michigan football freshman redshirt tracker with three games left in 2025 season

In this story:
Michigan enters its bye week with a 7-2 record and there is still plenty on the table for the Wolverines. Ranked No. 21 in the country, Michigan can win out and still get into the College Football Playoff -- but will the Wolverines do that?
Regardless, for such a young team, there have been a lot of positive signs from the youngsters. Michigan is relying on true freshmen such as Bryce Underwood and Andrew Marsh on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, we've seen freshmen like Jayden Sanders and Elijah Dotson make significant plays for the Wolverines' defense.
With three weeks to go, we are going to look at the true freshman and see who has burned their redshirt and who is still in line to keep it. Reminder, players can play up to four games and still retain their redshirt.
