The Michigan Wolverines found their groove as the 2024 regular season progressed, but it wasn't a pretty process for Sherrone Moore and his team. That said, it's a lot easier to be optimistic about the Wolverines' direction after seeing the program dismantle Ohio State and Alabama.
Turning the team's momentum around after a slow start to the season with sluggish offensive showings wasn't easy. Former star running back Donovan Edwards described how the Wolverines accomplished it when he was on the podium at the 2025 Scouting Combine.
"A bond with each other. A lot of the guys who were there before I got there had gone through adversity together. My class wanted to make Michigan great again and put them back on the map, beat all of our rivals, win Big Ten Championships and National Championships. It was that team chemistry, that dynamic we had. There was no egos at all, nobody thought they were bigger, better than the team or the program. That's what you need to have a great culture and a winning program."
Edwards didn't get too specific, but it was insightful to hear how relationships were the crux of Michigan's successes. Beating Ohio State, winning a Big Ten title, and capping off an undefeated National Championship season certainly qualifies as a successful tenure for Edwards and his recruiting class.
After producing 2,251 rushing yards, 797 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns, Edwards hopes to make himself a draftable prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft.
