Michigan Wolverines<\/a> head football coach Kyle Whittingham<\/a> announced four spring captains, 15 members of the team\u2019s leadership council and the start of the team\u2019s 15 spring practices, which begin on March 17 and conclude with the spring game on April 18 at Michigan Stadium.<\/p>\n

Senior defensive tackle Trey Pierce<\/a>, graduate defensive back Rod Moore<\/a>, junior running back Jordan Marshall<\/a> and sophomore quarterback Bryce Underwood<\/a> will lead the program as its spring captains, while 7 will be part of the team\u2019s leadership council during its month of practices.<\/p>\n

The official captains and leadership council for the 2026 season will be elected during fall camp. Players voted for both during the spring cycle and will do the same in the fall.<\/p>\n

The council list alphabetically includes:
Nico Andrighetto<\/a>, Fifth-Year Senior Safety
Zeke Berry<\/a>, Fifth-Year Senior Cornerback
Cameron Brandt<\/a>, Senior Defensive End
Mason Curtis<\/a>, Junior Safety
Enow Etta<\/a>, Junior Defensive Tackle
Blake Frazier<\/a>, Junior Offensive Line
Jake Guarnera<\/a>, Junior Offensive Line
Jyaire Hill<\/a>, Senior Cornerback
Andrew Marsh<\/a>, Sophomore Wide Receiver
Zack Marshall<\/a>, Senior Tight End
Andrew Sprague<\/a>, Junior Offensive Line<\/p>\n

More details on the game will be revealed at a later date, according to the release from the Michigan football program.<\/p>\n

Underwood\u2019s inclusion as a team leader is somewhat notable given his class standing, but a quarterback is a de facto captain on the team regardless of class, and Whittingham seems to agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a special young man,\u201d Whittingham said at his introductory press conference on Dec. 28 in Orlando. \u201cCarries himself the right way. Quarterback has to have the \u2018it\u2019 factor, and Bryce has the \u201cit\u201d factor, along with a ton of talent. Big, strong kid. His ceiling is very high and the offense we\u2019re going to bring in here is going to suit him and I think he\u2019s really, really going to excel and have a great experience here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michigan Wolverines head football coach Kyle Whittingham announced four spring captains, 15 members of the team\u2019s leadership council…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[5977,7,104833,41006,104834],"class_list":{"0":"post-726168","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-bryce-underwood-25-belleville-high-school","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jordan-marshall-21-christian-brothers-college","11":"tag-rod-moore-21-northmont","12":"tag-trey-pierce-13-porter-gaud-school"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116006600489588157","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
