After the 2023 season comes to a close, Michigan football will be losing a key piece: wide receiver Cornelius Johnson, who is one of JJ McCarthy’s favorite targets right now. While Roman Wilson has an NFL decision to make, it’s largely assumed that Michigan may need a replacement for him, too, as the Wolverines look to remain in title contention once the Big Ten and College Football Playoff expand next fall.
