Michigan football won't lose as much as it had going from the 2023 season where it won the national championship to 2024 as it will from 2024 to 2025, but still, it needs some continuity moving forward.

On Wednesday one of the Wolverines' unsung heroes, fullback Max Bredeson, made a decision on his future with the program. Widely known for his pancake blocks just past the line of scrimmage, Bredeson was immortalized in a viral social media of him having taken out Ohio State star Jack Sawyer with a crushing block.

After crushing Northwestern 50-6 on Nov. 23, Michigan followed with a stunning 13-10 upset over No. 2 Ohio State in Columbus. Then, playing without several top players who opted out of the ReliaQuest Bowl, the Wolverines knocked off an 11th-ranked Alabama team playing close to full strength.

He’s the ultimate competitor, the ultimate leader, everything you want in a captain," head coach Sherrone Moore said of Max Bredeson last month.

Michigan tight end/fullback Max Bredeson, voted a captain for the 2024 season, announced his intentions for next season with the Wolverines.

Michigan Wolverines fullback Max Bredeson announced he is forgoing the NFL Draft and will be returning to Ann Arbor for the 2025 season. Bredeson has been a part of the Michigan football team since his true freshman season in 2021.
