The Wolverines’ offense will operate a bit differently with Kirk Campbell calling the plays this season. Michigan wide receiver Tyler Morris and defensive back Quinten Johnson discussed some notable changes coming to the offense this fall.

The Michigan Wolverines’ offense may operate a bit differently after promoting Kirk Campbell to offensive coordinator.

During a fall camp press conference, wide receiver Tyler Morris and running back Kalel Mullings discussed some notable differences in the offense so far this fall camp, including a deeper understanding of opposing defenses and a more diverse playbook.

“I’m excited. I feel like (Campbell is) going to open the offense up a little more and maybe we’ll try some things that we haven’t in the past couple years,” Morris told the local media Wednesday morning. “I think he’s a great coordinator, really smart and will definitely give us multiple ways to attack defenses. I wouldn’t say there are a lot of major changes, but I think we’re trying a lot more. We have a lot more put in and just opened the playbook a little more.”

It will be important for Morris to be a big-play creator and a consistent contributor for an offense that will be welcoming in a new quarterback. Michigan passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy has found plenty of success over the last three years and will look to make Morris a focal point in 2024.

Morris appeared in all 15 games as a sophomore, racking up 197 receiving yards and one touchdown on 13 catches. Now he is set to have an even bigger role this season and should be able to stretch the field in Campbell’s pass attack moving forward.

Even though the Wolverines have been a run-heavy offense in recent years, Morris believes the team will be able to have success in a variety of ways, and Campbell’s play-calling will lead to an improved aerial assault.

“I think especially going into this year, we’re going to open it up more,” Morris said. “Michigan has been known to run the ball, but I think we’ve shown on multiple occasions that we can throw it too if we need to. We’re going to do what works. It’s really just up to the offense and we’ll go with whatever works best for us.”

From a defensive perspective, veteran safety Quinten Johnson also noticed some changes in the way the offense has been attacking the defense.

“We’ve seen the offense all practice. Yesterday was the first day of pads and they definitely caught a groove,” Johnson said. “We would say they won yesterday, which is good to see for when we put the pads on against somebody else. There’s a lot of versatility (on offense). We can play big boy football, we can get in 12 (personnel) and really expand the field. We can also run the ball. There’s so many different ways of offense we can play that the quarterbacks present a lot of opportunity.”
