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.

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.

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

One of Michigan football’s most vocal leaders is staying in Ann Arbor. Fullback/tight end Max Bredeson, a team captain this season, announced on Instagram Wednesday he is returning for a fifth season instead of declaring for the NFL draft.
