Roman Wilson #1 of the Michigan Wolverines
Michigan enters the 2024 season with a fresh head coach and a roster featuring many new faces. Nonetheless, their exceptional performance in the previous season, culminating in a flawless 15-0 record and a championship victory, remains a standout achievement. Wide receiver Roman Wilson, a key contributor to that success, is poised to garner significant attention in this year’s NFL Draft, underscoring his status as one of the team’s top talents.
Michigan’s dominance in college football over the past three seasons has been widely acknowledged, with one notable adversary being Ohio State. The Wolverines decisively triumphed over the Buckeyes in the preceding three years, a feat that surprised many observers.
Roman Wilson told me that Michigan coaches often reminded him that the NFL would be like playing Ohio State every single week.
"Imagine playing Ohio State every single week for the whole season… That's what I want."
