2022 was quite a season for Michigan Football as they beat Ohio State and Michigan State, and won a second-straight Big Ten Championship, before advancing to the College Football Playoff. Though the Wolverines are expected to be a very good team in 2023, they are certainly going to look a bit different as multiple players have either decided to transfer or declare for the 2023 NFL Draft. On Sunday, a pair of Michigan Football players announced their decision for 2023.
What decision did a pair of Michigan football players make?
According to reports, both OL Zach Zinter and LB Michael Barrett have announced their decision for 2023.
On Sunday, both Zinter and Barrett announced they are returning to Michigan for the 2023 season.
Michael Barrett:
“Firstly, I want to start by thanking God and the rest of my family for always being there and supporting me throughout the years and through this decision,” Barrett said on Twitter. “To coach (Jim) Harbaugh, thank you for believing in a kid from south Georgia with big dreams and allowing me to turn them into reality. My time at the University of Michigan has given me things that I will take with me wherever I go. I’ve made friends and made connections that will last a lifetime. To my teammates. thank you for being my brothers both on and off the field.
“With that being said. we’re only just getting started. I will be returning to the University of Michigan for my last year of eligibility to complete my master’s program and finish what I started with my brothers.”
Zach Zinter:
I have thought long and hard about what my future may hold. I want to thank my family, coaches, and close friends for helping me through this decision. These past 3 years have been nothing short of incredible. The culture and brotherhood that has been created with my teammates has set a new standard for Michigan football.
While playing in the NFL has always been a lifelong dream of mine. We still have unfinished business. Therefore, I am coming back to finish what we started!
