While you’re gearing up for the upcoming Michigan football season, there’s one name you simply can’t miss: Colston Loveland. From Idaho to the Big Ten stage, this young player is rapidly making a name for himself as a force to be reckoned with.
While Brock Bowers of Georgia has garnered significant attention, Colston Loveland is poised to challenge him for the title of the best tight end in the country. The murmurs and buzz around Michigan’s camp suggest that if Coach Jim Harbaugh lets quarterback J.J. McCarthy truly unleash his throwing power, Loveland might just be the primary recipient of those passes.
One moment that put the entire nation on notice was during the Big Ten Championship game. Colston Loveland displayed sheer athleticism and skill as he made a Randy Moss-esque leaping catch for a touchdown, taking on Purdue and leaving spectators in awe.

Michigan tight end turned Dallas Cowboy Luke Schoonmaker says of Loveland, “The sky is the limit.” Joel Honigford believes his potential is “higher than anybody I’ve seen here.” And when Jake Butt weighs in, he proclaims that Loveland could be “one of the best, if not the best” in the history of the program. High praise indeed!
Even Michigan’s head coach, Jim Harbaugh, is captivated by Loveland’s prowess on the field. “Freak athletic ability,” Harbaugh notes, emphasizing how effortlessly Loveland makes seemingly impossible plays. “Colston,” Harbaugh mused, “Do you even know how good you are?”
The upcoming season holds a promise for Loveland. Drawing parallels to the legendary Jake Butt’s time at Michigan, there’s a tangible excitement that Colston Loveland might just have a breakout year, potentially recording one of the most impressive tight end seasons Michigan has seen in recent memory.
