Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things, Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host, Zach Shaw. Steve Lorenz is here with me. This is the fourth episode of our 2025 position group preview series.

If you missed our quarterback, running back, and wide receiver episodes, be sure to check those out.

Either at the Michiganinsider.com, Michigan.247sports.com, or wherever you're listening to this podcast, there's probably just like scroll up, I guess. Be sure to check them out. They're nice and short. I think they're all under 30 minutes, and they're just like nice, weirdly in-depth for how short they are, but it's a good way to get to know this year's team. We look at the biggest strengths, the biggest question marks, the position battles, the breakout players, some predictions or expectations for each position group for the coming season.

There's tons of written content over at the Michiganinsider.com. Michigan.247sports.com.

Fall camp is underway. Recruiting is cruising along and we've got inside

intel. We've got analysis. We've got press conference quotes. You'll find a little bit of everything

over at the Michiganinsider.com, Michigan at 247sports.com. Episode four, this is our tight ends

episode. Michigan, of course, replacing, I think you could argue, their greatest tight end in

history in Colston Loveland, certainly the highest drafted tight end in history. And he won a national

championship. You know, if he was healthy all of last season and he had better quarterback play,

you do kind of wonder, does he, is he viewed, you know, as someone who could win some of those national awards, be a first

team All-American and Colson Loveland. So we'll take a look at what this team or what this

room looks like heading into this season. And starting with the biggest strength, you know, I'll

talk about some of the inline guys in a little bit, but I think the biggest strength is I think they

have two game-changing H-backs, you know, the guys who can kind of play a little bit of fullback, a little bit. But I think the biggest strength is I think they have two game-changing

h-backs, you know, the guys who can kind of play a little bit of fullback, a little bit off

the line of scrimmage, you know, be kind of a blocker, but also, you know, get some passes

in the flats, things like that. I mean, at Max Bredison, if you don't know what Max Bredison's

about, I question if you've watched a lot of Michigan games the past couple years.

Steve, I have the stat. This is a Zach Shaw original stat because I went and looked at every touchdown Michigan has scored in the last two seasons.

Offensively, they've scored 94 touchdowns. He has been on the field for 45 of them.
