Tweets Of The Day

Former Michigan All-American offensive lineman and current radio analyst Jon Jansen is among the Wolverines inducted into the Michigan Athletics Hall of Honor for the 2025 class. From a U-M press release:

The University of Michigan Athletic Department announced Wednesday (Aug. 20) its 2025 Hall of Honor class. This year’s class consists of five former student-athletes — men’s cross country and track and field athlete Brian Diemer (1980-83), field hockey standout Kristi Gannon Fisher (2000-03), football player Jon Jansen (1995-98), men’s golfer Lion Kim (2008-11) and ice hockey center Kevin Porter (2005-08) — and two coaching leaders in softball coach Carol Hutchins (1985-2022) and men’s track and field coach Jack Harvey (1975-99).

The Hall of Honor induction ceremony will be held on Friday, Oct. 17, at the U-M Golf Course. The seven inductees will also be honored on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Michigan’s football game against Washington.

Criteria for consideration includes being an NCAA champion or member of a national championship team, an All-American, Olympic medalist, Olympic team member, professional league champion or world championship team medalist/member, NCAA or conference player of the year, conference champion, record holder or all-conference award winner.

A look at the entire class:

Some stats on just how significant it is that Michigan landed five-star running back Savion Hiter — the No. 8 overall player and No. 1 running back in the 2026 class.

Ohio State sophomore wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who’s 0-1 against Michigan and went for only 35 yards in a 13-10 loss last season, says he has tremendous hate for the Wolverines, who have won four games in a row against his Buckeyes.

Smith’s 35 yards against Michigan — which included a controversial touchdown catch in which he committed offensive pass interference but it wasn’t called — stand as the second-lowest total of his college career (34, Indiana).

Quote Of The Day

“He’s amazing. The young man is very humble. He works hard. He does everything the right way. Savion Hiter truly leads by example. He shows up on time and puts the work in to be the best he can be.”
