At Thursday’s press conference, Whittingham announced that running back Micah Ka’apana is out for the 2026 season due to a season-ending injury. While the specific nature of the injury was not detailed in initial reports, the loss of the third-year RB is a significant blow to the Wolverines’ backfield depth for the upcoming season.
Whittingham called it “a real disappointment.” Last season, Ka’apana recorded 10 carries for 38 yards, appearing in three games.
