Michigan Special Teams Revamp | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s special teams are getting a major overhaul heading into the new season, with fresh faces and a new coach aiming to fix past struggles. Kicker Trey Butkowski, a reliable Pitt transfer who nailed 20 of 23 field goals last year, is stepping in as the starter, backed by understudy Stuart Blake. Punting duties now fall to Australian phenom Cam Brown from UNLV, averaging over 42 yards per punt — a huge upgrade over last year’s shaky performers, with Hudson Hollenbeck on standby. Return roles remain unsettled, with Andrew Marsh and Smith Snowden vying for punt returns, while freshman Savion Hiter is expected to handle kick returns. With new coach Kerry Coombs bringing a fresh approach, optimism is cautious but real — this unit could finally deliver consistency after years of inconsistency.
