Head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed the seven players who will serve as team captains earlier this evening during his appearance on the “Inside Michigan Football” radio show with Jon Jansen.
Per Harbaugh, defensive tackle Carlo Kemp, defensive end Kwity Paye, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, linebacker Josh Ross, fullback Ben Mason, tight end Nick Eubanks and center Andrew Vastardis will all serve as captains for the Wolverines this year.
“All those guys are just very deserving, top-shelf players and leaders,” Harbaugh said.
The seven captains are the most that the Wolverines have ever had in a season.
