Our Michigan Role Models, Mentors, & Heroes Begin Their Season!
The Big Blue season kicks off with our Dream Makers leading the Wolverines for Michigan and Coach Jim Harbaugh. The season begins this week when the Wolverines host Hawaii at noon on Saturday.
Harbaugh press conference Jim Harbaugh met with the media this past Monday, Aug. 29, 2016, in Ann Arbor. From Harbaugh’s press conference, on what makes a good team, “Everybody does a little and it adds up to a lot.” Harbaugh revealed the starting quarterback will either be sophomore Wilton Speight or junior transfer John O’Korn. “The competition at the quarterback position has been very good,” Harbaugh said. “It’s been improving, as well, daily and weekly. All the quarterbacks are playing at a very high level.” We are extremely proud to be part of the Michigan Football and excited about our 31 YIP Student-Athlete Mentors.
Below is the roster of our lead YIP Michigan Student-Athletes that served as mentors, teachers, heroes, and role models in making a permanent difference in the young boys’ lives this past summer.
