Three Michigan Wolverines Earn Early Preseason All-American Honors

Two of the major publications released their early preseason All-American lists and three Wolverines are getting noticed.

Michigan is locked and loaded to play in 10 days against East Carolina. 

The Wolverines return 80% of their production from 2022, so Michigan has some star power on the team this season. There are more and more analysts coming out and predicting Michigan to make it back to the College Football Playoff, or a player on the Wolverines will be in on a major award at the end of the year. 

Two major publications released their preseason All-American teams: The Associated Press and Sporting News. Three different Wolverines made the cut, two of which were selected by both publications.

With the star power Michigan has and the way the schedule sets up, the Wolverines could win their third Big Ten title in a row and make it back to the playoff. If that happens, then the maize and blue should have more than three All-Americans on the roster in 2023.
