Michigan Football Player’s Epic Body Transformation Exposes Sherrone Moore For Weight Room Neglect

First-year head coach Kyle Whittingham and director of football sports performance Doug Elisaia made one simple change to the strength training regimen for the college football program at Michigan. Offensive lineman Blake Frazier underwent a significant body transformation in the last seven months.

His new physique exposes the neglect of Sherrone Moore and the previous coaching staff.

For a college football team to look completely different after just one offseason means they were not doing what they needed to do in the past. It really did not take much.

Michigan football players did not bench press under the previous coaching staff.

Kyle Whittingham was hired as the new head football coach at the University of Michigan in late December after the wild saga involving Sherrone Moore. He was grateful to inherit a talented roster. Most of the roster stayed in tact. It’s a good team.

However, the former head coach at Utah noticed one “glaring issue” with the Wolverines as soon as he arrived to Ann Arbor. The overall strength of the team was not up to par. His new players were weak.

It was not a lack of size. Whittingham actually described the team as a group of “real tall, long, good-looking athletes.” They had the right frames on which to build but they lacked muscle mass. They simply were not strong enough.

Say what you will about Whittingham’s tenure in Salt Lake City, but his team was usually more physical than its opponents. Utah always won at the line of scrimmage. Its skill players were always willing to meet in the B-gap. The Utes hit hard.

Michigan is going to take a similar approach to physicality under its new head coach. The Wolverines went hard in the weight room over the last seven months to prepare. Doug Elisaia went back to the basics. He did not have to make it complicated.

As it would turn out, Michigan football players rarely hit the bench press or squat rack during the previous era. Seriously.

Blake Frazier completely transformed his body in the last seven months.

97% of Michigan players hit a new personal best in a specific exercise during the latest round of strength testing before fall camp. Elisaia got his players right!

Third-year offensive lineman Blake Frazier looks completely different. The former four-star recruit played last season at 295 pounds. He completely transformed his body over the last seven months. There is no doubt he weighs more than 300 pounds today.
