The Michigan football team has apparently settled on its leadership for the 2017 season.

In a vote held Saturday night, seniors Mike McCray and Mason Cole were elected captains by teammates, according to posts on social media.

Michigan players Khalid Hill and Henry Poggi took to Twitter to congratulate the two, among the five returning starters from a season ago.

Congrats to my brothers @MasonCole52 and @BigPlayMcCray_9 on being our cpatins this year !!! — Khalid Hill (@Thatboylid80) August 27, 2017

The 6-foot-4, 248-pound McCray started all 13 games at linebacker in 2016, recording 76 tackles -- 12 1/1 for a loss -- and 4 1/2 sacks. An all-Big Ten honorable mention last season, the Trotwood, Ohio, native enters his fifth year on the preseason Butkus Award watch list.

Meanwhile, Cole, of Tarpon Springs, Florida, has made the gracious decision to move from center to tackle for his senior season. A four-year starter, the 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive lineman has started 38 straight games for the Wolverines.

Cole was a second-team Big Ten selection, and chose to bypass the NFL draft to return to Ann Arbor for a senior season.

Michigan opens the regular season next Saturday, Sept. 2, against Florida in Arlington, Texas.
