Good morning, Ann Arbor.

Artist Christian Stanley from Orlando is painting a colorful mural at Liberty Plaza off Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor for the next three weeks—bringing vibrant art and local inspiration to the area.

Mark Hodesh, an 80-year-old Ann Arbor property owner, said he will keep owning the Downtown Home and Garden property as its store closes — he plans to lease the space while noting that its future remains uncertain.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said Mikey Keene is managing his injury as he has taken part in camp at a slow pace—adding that the team recently signed veteran Jake Garcia while Bryce Underwood remains the frontrunner for the starting role on Aug.

30. Keene, a transfer from Fresno State, was expected to compete for the job but has been limited in training so far.

Michigan safety Rod Moore is pushing hard in his recovery from ACL and meniscus surgeries—he is slowly returning to practice ahead of the Aug.

30 season opener. Coaches say his progress may bring extra strength to the defense as the team adjusts its lineup.

The University of Michigan is updating food options at Michigan Stadium this fall — serving items like Bloody Mary deviled eggs and cherry bomb chicken meatballs to offer more variety and local flavors for game day.

Fans and chefs say the new menus provide healthier, gluten-free, and light options along with classic favorites.

Michigan football home games in 2025 will feature many new food items available in concourse, club, or suite locations at the Big House starting with the Aug.

30 opener — while alcohol prices remain unchanged from last season for beer and cocktails.

TJ Metcalf transferred from Arkansas and quickly earned a starting role in Michigan's secondary, impressing coach LaMar Morgan with his versatility at safety and nickel and his calm demeanor during team visits — he calmed his little sister on a family visit and asked to practice on the day of his root canal. Coaches expect him to prove himself as he enters the season with high praise from teammates and the chance to be one of the Big Ten's best.

Peter Bourque, a four-star quarterback from Tabor Academy ranked as the No. 75 prospect, committed verbally to Michigan for the class of 2027, making him the team's third pledge in the cycle.

He visited campus with offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, which helped seal his decision.
