Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order has forced the Michigan football team to scatter, with most of its players and coaches returning home to ride out the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since then, videos have popped up on social media of players taking part in their own workout. Some are throwing, others are running routes -- and the kickers are, well, kicking.

Like this video that surfaced Saturday afternoon on Twitter, of Michigan kicker Jake Moody booting a 69-yard field goal from the football field at Northville High School.

“New PR of 69 yards,” wrote Moody, a Northville native who will enter his junior season this fall, referencing his personal record.

It’s unclear when the kick happened, but if it did take place on Saturday, then Moody was likely aided by a slight breeze. Either way, the kick is impressive and prefaces an expected competition, again, between Moody and fifth-year senior Quinn Nordin for place-kicking duties this fall.

The two alternated for much of 2019, with Moody going 6 for 9 on field-goal attempts, before Nordin (10 of 13) appeared to win the job toward the end of the season. Nordin, of Rockford, is considered to have the stronger leg of the two -- he has four 50-yard field goals in his Michigan career, including a 57-yarder in the Citrus Bowl that tied the program record -- while Moody has been more accurate, converting 80 percent of his attempts.

If Moody can carry that accuracy into fall camp, along with increased leg strength, it would certainly boost his chances of winning the job. Otherwise, Michigan may enter another season with the two sharing duties.

RAISING MONEY: With the novel coronavirus having a severe impact on hospitals in and around Detroit, several current and former Michigan players have joined forces with student-athletes from around the state (and country) to help raise money for medical workers.

Jake Butt, Kwity Paye and true freshman Nikhai Hill-Green were among the Wolverines who appeared on a 6 1/2-minute video that was released over the weekend promoting the fundraiser. So far, nearly $2,000 has been donated.

You can watch the video, in full, below:

Michigan residents are prohibited from engaging in unessential travel through April 30, with the novel coronavirus having infected more than 525,000 nationally, killing 20,486 of them, as of Saturday afternoon, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

NFL DRAFT NOTE: Michigan’s Cesar Ruiz and Josh Uche are among the 48 prospects confirmed to participate in the NFL’s virtual draft on April 23-25, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Ruiz, an offensive linemen, is a fringe first-round possibility, while Uche, a linebacker, is projected to be a second-round pick.
