Channing Goodwin Secures WR3 Spot for Michigan Football Ahead of 2026 Season
US · Published Sep 2, 2026
• Michigan Football has finalized its wide receiver lineup ahead of the 2026 season opener against Western Michigan.
• According to Kyle Whittingham, speaking on 'Inside Michigan Football' on Monday night, Channing Goodwin has earned the WR3 position after a strong performance during fall camp.

Impact & Risks

The decision to promote Channing Goodwin to WR3 could have a significant impact on Michigan's offensive strategy. With seven reliable wide receivers, the team is expected to utilize more 11 personnel formations, increasing rotation among players. However, Goodwin's past issues with dropped passes could pose a risk if they resurface during the season. The competition for playing time among the wide receivers remains intense, and any underperformance could lead to lineup changes. For Michigan, the stakes are high as they aim to improve their passing game, which was hindered by 28 dropped passes last season.
