Michigan Football Fall Camp Day 1 — Friday, August 6

Friday was a busy day around Schembechler Hall, with the Wolverines holding their first practice. Plus, they got a visit from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, a flight demonstration squadron, who got a workout in with strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert and his staff.

Michigan was able to hit the field for its first practice of the fall. Keep in mind, pads haven't been put on yet. Here is some footage that the Wolverines' team account posted, recapping the day:

Michigan Football Fall Camp Day 2 — Saturday, August 7

Michigan's account provided some photos from the second day of practice, including of co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Sherrone Moore, coaching up the position group he took over this offseason after mentoring the team's tight ends for three seasons (2018-20).

Also included were pictures of the defensive line hitting the sled, junior defensive end Aidan Hutchinson pointing to the sky and redshirt sophomore cornerback Gemon Green having some fun in between drills.

Director of Recruiting Aashon Larkins and Director of Player Personnel Courtney Morgan watched the events unfold from the sideline.

Later that evening, first-year safeties coach Ron Bellamy was able to sneak away to Canton, Ohio, to support former Wolverines Steve Hutchinson and Charles Woodson as they're inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend.

Michigan Football Fall Camp Day 3 — Sunday, August 8

Photos from the team's third practice showed first-year running backs coach Mike Hart getting hands-on while leading a drill, redshirt freshman defensive tackle Mazi Smith pushing back a big pile during a team session, head coach Jim Harbaugh and junior wideout Ronnie Bell sharing a warm embrace and the offensive line in its stance.

Near the tail end of practice, the Blue Angels performed a flyover of the fields, the perfect way to cap off an eventful weekend. The planes were Boeing's F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet fighter jets, the newest highly capable, tactical aircraft in the U.S. Navy.
