Spring Game Rosters, Now Approximately Depth Charted
Charlton and the rest of his DE buddies are mysteriously absent
Michigan released their spring game rosters numerically, which is not helpful unless you're a blogger with a content hole to patch. Here are the teams laid out by position, with the assumption that we're still in 4-3 under land:
| OFFENSE | ||
|---|---|---|
| BLUE | POSITION | MAIZE |
| Shane Morris/Wilton Speight | QB | Alex Malzone |
| Ty Isaac/Wyatt Shallman | RB | DeVeon Smith/Derrick Green |
| Joe Kerridge | FB | Bobby Henderson/Brady Pallante |
| Amara Darboh/Drake Harris | WR1 | Jehu Chesson/Da'Mario Jones |
| Jaron Dukes | WR2 | Mo Ways/Freddy Canteen |
| Bo Dever/Jack Wangler | WR3 | Dennis Norfleet/Brian Cole |
| Jake Butt/Ian Bunting | TE | Chase Winovich/AJ Williams |
| Logan Tuley-Tillman | LT | Mason Cole |
| David Dawson | LG | Erik Magnuson |
| Graham Glasgow | C | Patrick Kugler |
| Dan Samuelson | RG | Kyle Kalis |
| Ben Braden/JBB | RT | Greg Froelich |
| DEFENSE | ||
| BLUE | POSITION | MAIZE |
| Chris Wormley | SDE | Henry Poggi/Tom Strobel |
| Ryan Glasgow | NT | Bryan Mone |
| Willie Henry | 3TECH | Maurice Hurst |
| .. | WDE | Lawrence Marshall |
| Allen Gant | SAM | Jared Wangler |
| Desmond Morgan | MLB | Joe Bolden |
| Royce Jenkins-Stone | WLB | Ben Gedeon |
| Blake Countess | CB1 | Channing Stribling |
| Jourdan Lewis/Ross Taylor-Douglas | CB2 | Reon Dawson |
| Brandon Watson/Terry Richardson | NICKEL | AJ Pearson |
| Dymonte Thomas | SS | Jabrill Peppers/Jeremy Clark |
| Jarrod Wilson | FS | Delano Hill |
I don't know what happened to the WDEs. They must have been omitted by accident unless Mario Ojemudia, Lawrence Marshall and Taco Charlton all have transfers pending. Mike McCray and Noah Furbush are also absent. Maybe they're also at this hybrid end spot that got accidentally nuked as well.
UPDATE: Marshall is on there. Other guys not so much.
Couple weird depth chart hints:
- Walk-on city at WR on the blue team. If you assume Drake Harris is not going to be full go, which you should, then the Maize team is way overloaded on scholarship WRs.
- Juwann Bushell-Beatty is the sixth OL on the Maize team while the Blue team only has four scholarship OL, one of whom I picked at random to be the right tackle.
- Ondre Pipkins, James Ross, Drake Johnson, and Khalid Hill are other scholarship absentees. The latter two were expected as both are still recovering from ACL tears. Pipkins and Ross are new injuries, and in Pipkins's case an extremely disappointing one.
They were drafted and do not appear. I clearly stated that I did not look beyond that. So it's ok to slight some non scholarship players? I stand my my point
Considering all the non-scholarship guys who have never played a down of football at Michigan, it would probably be pretty pointless to put them in the depth chart. Do you think Ace has a good handle on the abilities of Kenneth Sloss and Alex Kaminski?
Ojemudia and Godin are both injured, if that's who you're referencing.
FWIW, I think the Maize team is more likely to have Magnuson at RT and Bars at LG. It doesn't look like you have Bars slotted in anywhere, and Froelich is a guard all the way. I mean, a depleted roster might force him into action at tackle...but I think if the coaches have their druthers, they'll keep him off the field or play him only on the inside.
either way, our depth at the moment sucks balls.
Eh, it's spring. We only have a couple true freshmen, and it's better to hold guys out now than let injuries linger. I'm sure pretty much every team is pretty thin right now. I look at it as a chance for some lesser known guys, walk-ons, etc. to get a chance to shine.
I'm pretttty lurky so I feel safe to ask, as I haven't seen. Has the list of draft picks by order been posted anywhere?
Morris & Shallman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still gottta go with maize team, but who cares. We want explosive plays for both teams
I wonder if Cole will get any Center snaps (or is he done there?)
Really looking forward to seeing Isaac at RB
Peppers is born to play SS.
The vibe I got from Drevno's interview the other day is that he took a look at Mason Cole playing center, got him some experience there, and kicked him back outside.
Yea Bars is on team Maize and he should be starting on the Oline over Froelich
