Michigan high school football live scores and updates for Week 1 games
MHSAA football live scores and updates to start Week 1 Thursday and Friday of the 2026 Michigan high school football season.
Michigan football's defensive line is poised to be stronger than ever this season, despite the departure of Derrick Moore, TJ Guy, and Jaishawn Barham. The addition of All-American John Henry Daley from Utah has added another formidable talent to the group. However, Dominic Nichols, a third-year end, is quickly emerging as the top pass-rusher in the Wolverines' rotation.
Senior right guard Nathan Efobi and left guard Evan Link both sing Nichols' praises, acknowledging his tenacity and skill set. Link remarks that Nichols "can do anything he wants" and is "really, really good," while Brandt echoes these sentiments, praising Nichols' mindset, fluidity, and athleticism. With Daley transferring from Utah, Nichols will likely start alongside him on the defensive line.
Michigan fans eagerly await their chance to witness Nichols' progress on September 5 when the Wolverines take on Western Michigan at The Big House.
