Position switches, weight changes and more takeaways from Michigan football’s 2024 roster

Michigan Wolverines football released its updated roster Wednesday, after holding its first practice of fall camp heading into the 2024 season.

Jersey number changes

Michigan didn’t make jersey number changes on the updated roster, but sophomore wide receiver Semaj Morgan has announced he’s going from No. 82 to No. 0. Sophomore defensive lineman Enow Etta, meanwhile, has made the move from No. 96 to No. 17. Those moves have yet to be reflected in an official capacity.

Position switches

Etta has also gone from being listed as an EDGE during spring practices to a defensive tackle. He’s up 13 pounds to 308 as fall camp begins, too.

Michigan freshman summer enrollee Mason Curtis was announced by the program as a linebacker when it released its 2024 recruiting class back in February, but the 6-foot-5, 200-pounder is now listed as a defensive back.

Weight changes

Here’s a look at every significant weight change on Michigan’s roster. Note that freshmen who enrolled early on the below list are being compared between their spring listing and what the roster now says. The returning Wolverines are being compared to their weight from last year’s fall camp roster.
