Michigan running back Hassan Haskins is looking to help propel the Wolverines to a College Football Playoff appearance this season and is amped up for the return of fans in Ann Arbor.

There were no fans permitted at the Big House during the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic. Michigan and the rest of the Big Ten only played six games. He told the "In the Trenches" podcast on Wednesday he was really looking forward to the energy to return to the stadium.
