With spring practice kicking off this week, Michigan fans are looking forward to seeing which players start to rise to the top of the depth chart. And while most of those final position battles will take place well into fall camp, there's no doubt that some guys will begin to assert themselves as starters in the coming weeks.

In addition to spring practice, fans are also getting a first look at some of the new jersey numbers for some of their favorite Wolverines. Here are some of the most notable jersey numbers/changes heading into the 2025 season.
