Funchess saw extensive playing time as a freshman for the 2012 Michigan football team. [9] After Brandon Moore sustained a knee injury, Funchess became the team's leading tight end and was described in October 2012 as "one of Michigan's biggest early-season revelations." [10] In the second game of the season, and Funchess' first as a starter, he had 106 receiving yards and a touchdown against Air Force. [11] [12] [13] [14] He became the first Michigan tight end with 100 receiving yards in a game in 15 years; Jerame Tuman accomplished the feat in 1997. [15] Funchess was named the Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Week for his performance against Air Force. [16] [17] Against UMass the following week, he caught two passes for 34 yards and scored his second career touchdown at Michigan. [18] [19]

He had a 46-yard reception against the Golden Gophers, and his total of 151 yards was also a career-high. [26] [27] After the Minnesota game, head coach Brady Hoke said: "We wanted to get him out on the perimeter a little bit, mismatch in a lot of ways. He runs awful well and is a big target. We're just trying to really take advantage of his skill set." [28] In an overtime loss to Penn State on October 12, 2013, Funchess caught four passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-long 59-yard touchdown reception. [29] Through the first six games of the season, Funchess had 19 catches for 408 yards and four touchdowns. His average of 21.5 yards per catch was the highest in the Big Ten Conference. [30]
