Could a star Michigan cornerback add a new dimension for the defending national champions as a kick and punt returner?
Will Johnson — a popular pick for All-American honors heading into his junior season — is working as a return man in preparation for his team’s title defense, which begins Aug. 31 against Fresno State.
Michigan wideout Semaj Morgan, via the Winged Helmet, said that in addition to himself and Johnson, sophomore defensive back Zeke Berry and sophomore wide receiver Frederick Moore are practicing returns for Michigan. The Wolverines’ 2024 spring game is on April 20.
“Don’t kick to us,” Morgan warned.
