Michigan Basketball Gets Massive Boost: Jace Howard and Nimari Burnett Announce Shocking Return for 2025-26 Season
In a stunning reversal, Michigan basketball stars Jace Howard and Nimari Burnett have announced their decision to return to the Wolverines for the 2025-26 season. This shocking news comes on the heels of Michigan’s disappointing Sweet Sixteen exit, and is a massive boost to a program looking to rebound next season.
Howard, the son of Michigan head coach Juwan Howard, has been a key contributor to the Wolverines’ success over the past two seasons. The talented guard has shown a knack for scoring and playmaking, and his return is a huge coup for Michigan.
Burnett, a transfer from Texas Tech, has also been an integral part of the Wolverines’ lineup. The athletic wing has brought a high level of energy and toughness to the team, and his decision to return is a significant boost to Michigan’s depth and talent.
“We’re thrilled to have Jace and Nimari back in the fold,” said Juwan Howard. “Both of these young men have been instrumental in our success, and we’re excited to see them continue to grow and develop as players.”
The return of Howard and Burnett is a massive shot in the arm for Michigan’s 2025-26 season. With these two stars back in the lineup, the Wolverines are poised to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament and compete for a Big Ten championship.
