Is Will Johnson playing for Michigan?
Reports surfaced Friday stating that Michigan will be without star cornerback Will Johnson against Ohio State.
Johnson has not played since an Oct. 19 loss at Illinois. He has two interceptions this season and is the No. 2 overall prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, according to ESPN’s latest big board.
Johnson played a pivotal role in the Wolverines’ win against the Buckeyes last season. Midway through the first quarter, he intercepted a pass from OSU quarterback Kyle McCord.
It set up a short scoring drive for Michigan, giving the Wolverines the game’s first lead.

The Wolverines could also be without star tight end Colston Loveland. There was, “increasing pessimism” about his availability, according to a report from ESPN on Friday.
Loveland is the No. 21 overall prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to ESPN. He has 56 catches for 582 yards and five touchdowns this season.
This story will be updated when Michigan’s injury report is available.
