College football preseason sees Miami Hurricanes and Michigan Wolverines gear up

The Miami Hurricanes opened media day in Coral Gables with new quarterback Darian Mensah taking the reins after Carson Beck entered the NFL draft. Mensah, already a preseason Heisman favorite, said he wants to prove himself as the team aims for an ACC title and a return to the College Football Playoff. Players highlighted the focus on hard work and teamwork rather than hype.

Meanwhile, the Michigan Wolverines began fall camp, emphasizing the battle at the line of scrimmage. The program, still adjusting after recent coaching changes, looks to solidify its offensive and defensive lines, with returning starters and new recruits expected to shape the season. Coaches stressed that success will hinge on trench performance as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign.
