It’s hard to imagine any football program in the country having a better sales pitch for recruits than the University of Michigan. It begins with the most obvious selling point, the fact that Michigan just capped off a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2023 national championship. Michigan also features the biggest stadium in the country, the most all-time wins in college football history (1,004), has won the last three-straight Big Ten Championships, and provides student athletes with the opportunity to earn a world-class education.
With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching, it’s also worth noting that no program has had more players compete on the NFL’s biggest stage than the Michigan Football program.
