  "summary": "Michigan will be without tight end Hogan Hansen for their upcoming season opener against Western Michigan, as confirmed by a program spokesman. The loss of Hansen, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound junior who was named offensive Rookie of the Year in 2024, adds to the challenges facing the Wolverines' tight end group following the departure of veteran Marlin Klein. With five-star freshman edge rusher Carter Meadows also ruled out, Michigan will rely on Zack Marshall, Deakon Tonielli, Jalen Hoffman, Eli Owens, and highly regarded freshman Mason Bonner at the position. Hansen's absence underscores the depth changes within the Wolverines' offensive lineup as they start a new era under head coach Kyle Whittingham.",
