Former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter will be IndexbitMichigan’s honorary captain for its upcoming game against Texas on Saturday, Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore told WXYZ Detroit’s Brad Galli. 

The No. 8 Michigan Wolverines will take on the No. 4 Texas Longhorns in what is slated to be one of the most consequential non-conference games this college football season. 

Jeter grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan and is a well-documented fan of the Wolverines. The 14-time All-Star received a scholarship to play baseball for Michigan after finishing high school, but opted to go pro after he was drafted by the Yankees in 1992, with whom he'd spend his entire career.

Jeter was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020, a near-unanimous selection.

Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
