For Michigan football quartet, being captain 'a dream come true'

Michigan’s captains for the 2025 season include a notable mix of experience and youth, following teammate voting announced Monday night. Safety Rod Moore, returning after a knee injury in April 2024 that paused his career and required three surgeries, was named Michigan’s first three-time captain. Moore said it feels like “a blessing” and emphasized the chance to lead more actively on the field this year after playing three games in 2024. Quarterback Bryce Underwood became the first sophomore captain elected at Michigan, while running back Jordan Marshall is the first junior, and defensive tackle Trey Pierce joins the group as a first-time captain. The Wolverines open Sept. 5 against Western Michigan, with preseason camp continuing in Ann Arbor.
