Highly Touted Michigan Transfer Honors Program Legends With Latest Number Change
The Michigan Wolverines are a college football program steeped in tradition with the most wins in college football history, more Big Ten titles than any other program and a national championship game win in 2024 against the Washington Huskies.
The Wolverines have had counted three Heisman Trophy winners among their all-time roster of players and plenty of others have made a lifelong impact in the Maize and Blue.

"WR Donaven McCulley will officially rock the #1 this season for Michigan," the X page Blue By 90 wrote on Friday along with a picture of the new jersey for the former Indiana Hoosiers wideout.
The number one jersey is a prized tradition in the Michigan football program as the number has been worn by former superstars including David Terrell, Braylon Edwards, Anthony Carter and others in Ann Arbor.

McCulley has garnered hype as a potential deep threat and star wideout this coming season for the Wolverines since he left Bloomington, Indiana this offseason.
He will likely catch passes from freshman Bryce Underwood or Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene this season, if not both Michigan quarterbacks or perhaps Jadyn Davis or Davis Warren.
