Michigan's First Spring Practice Includes A Number Change And Nike [PHOTOS]

Michigan's first spring practice in under way in Bradenton, FL.

Pictures through the teams official Twitter account have been coming through fast and furious.

The photo that got the most attention was presumably the new starting QB John O'Korn wearing a new number.

O'Korn had worn 5 last season but with the emergence of Jabrill Peppers on offense (who wears 5), he has changed his number this season 8 since two players can't be on the field at the same time in the same number. Another interesting fact is that in this photo O'Korn is wearing Nike cleats. Michigan who will start wearing Jordan Brand uniforms on August 1, is still under contract with Adidas.

According to MLive's Michigan beat writer Nick Baumgardner, Michigan bought some cleats for the team to "test this spring."

Spring practice is in full bloom, so how excited are you for the season to start? Michigan opens the 2016 season at home against Hawaii on September 3.
