The swimming superstar was honored with other Olympians with ties to the school before Saturday's football game against Wisconsin. He sported a Wolverines football jersey with his name and No. 8, representing the record-setting gold medals he won last month.
Phelps lived and trained in Ann Arbor after emerging as a star at the Athens Games in 2004 and returned to campus for the first time this week since leaving for workouts June 25.
"It feels good to be back," he said Saturday. "It feels good to be back in the maize and blue."
He has two tattoos -- Olympic rings and a block 'M' -- and says he chose the school's iconic symbol because Ann Arbor was the place where he experienced such firsts as washing dishes and doing laundry.

Anybody wanna claim this for a sig? Super gay.
"Coming here and living here for four years taught me a lot, and I'm thankful for the experiences I had here because they changed my life," Phelps said. "I wanted to get that as a memory of something that really changed my life."
