Michigan's passing attack has moved from 131st in 2024 to 107th in 2025, a modest but meaningful jump that reflects both progress and the work that still lies ahead.
A New Look for the Wolverines' Passing Game
Quarterback play and drops proved to be the biggest hurdles in the previous season, limiting the offense's ability to sustain drives.
To address those shortcomings, the Wolverines brought in three newcomers – JJ Buchanan, Salesi Moa and Jaime Ffrench – to deepen the wide-receiver corps.
Andrew Marsh, a key contributor on the unit, spoke enthusiastically about the group's balance, noting that both the fresh talent and returning players bring a variety of skill sets.
New offensive coordinator Jason Beck arrives from Utah, where he helped guide the Utes to a No. 4 ranking in total offense, bringing a proven system and play-calling philosophy.
With Bryce Underwood slated to take the snap, the coaching staff believes the quarterback can capitalize on the upgraded receiving options and the more aggressive 11-personnel packages.
Marsh added that the revamped scheme should allow the offense to be more dynamic, creating mismatches and opening up the field for big plays.
