Michigan will take the field for Saturday’s opener against ECU without coach Jim Harbaugh, who is set to begin a self-imposed three-game suspension for alleged recruiting infractions.
Though the two-time defending Big Ten champs may be without their sideline leader, one of their leaders on the field is making sure Harbaugh’s name doesn’t go forgotten as the 2023 season gets underway.
Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy proudly led his team off the bus Saturday morning while wearing a makeshift “Free Harbaugh” t-shirt. The team’s starting signal-caller wasn’t the only one to rep his suspended coach as a number of other players were seen rocking various pieces of clothing with Harbaugh’s name front and center.
