Exciting News for College Football Fans: Netflix Releases Highly Anticipated Michigan Wolverines Documentary
College football fans around the world are celebrating as Netflix has officially released its highly anticipated documentary focused on the legendary Michigan Wolverines football program. Titled “Those Who Stay: The Michigan Rise”, the series offers a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most storied and passionate programs in college sports — from historic traditions and on-field triumphs to personal struggles and triumphant comebacks.
The documentary, now streaming globally, takes fans inside the heart of Michigan football’s 2024 championship season, which saw the Wolverines go undefeated and claim their first national title in over two decades. Through raw footage, exclusive interviews, and never-before-seen locker room access, the series captures the grit, sacrifice, and determination that fueled a team — and a university — to glory.
At the center of the story is Head Coach Sherrone Moore, who took over the reins following Jim Harbaugh’s departure and led the Wolverines with passion, humility, and unshakeable belief. Viewers get to witness Moore’s emotional journey as he battles early skepticism, navigates intense rivalries, and bonds with players over shared values of discipline, brotherhood, and purpose. The series shows Moore not only as a coach, but as a mentor, role model, and cultural leader — culminating in his unforgettable moment hoisting the national championship trophy.
But “Those Who Stay” isn’t just about touchdowns and trophies. It dives deep into the stories that define a team beyond the field. From star quarterback Jalen Daniels balancing pressure and expectations, to walk-on defensive back Malik Washington overcoming family hardship, each episode brings fans closer to the human side of the game.
The documentary also pays homage to the Wolverines’ rich legacy — featuring archival footage of legends like Charles Woodson, Desmond Howard, and Tom Brady. It explores the power of The Big House, the largest stadium in the U.S., and how its roaring sea of maize and blue has become a symbol of unity and pride across generations. Fans will feel goosebumps hearing the band strike up “The Victors” and watching the team run out of the tunnel on game day.
Netflix executives describe the project as “one of the most emotionally powerful and visually dynamic sports documentaries we’ve ever produced.” Critics are already praising the film for its authenticity, emotional depth, and cinematic production. Within hours of release, the series became one of the top trending shows on the platform.
Social media is ablaze with reactions from Michigan fans, college football analysts, and even rival schools. Hashtags like #ThoseWhoStay, #GoBlueDoc, and #MichiganNetflix are trending, with thousands calling it “a must-watch for any sports fan.”
In a world where college athletics is often defined by stats and scandals, “Those Who Stay” offers something rare: a heartfelt tribute to the spirit of perseverance, tradition, and team-first mentality. Whether you’re a lifelong Michigan fan or new to college football, this documentary promises a powerful, inspiring journey into the soul of the sport.
And one thing’s clear — the Michigan Wolverines are not just champions on the field; now, they’re champio
ns on screen too.
