being in the doghouse
Being hurt
And being buried behind the greatest 2 deep D Line in Michigan history.
October 13th, 2016 at 9:54 AM ^
surface in his senior season on the 2-deep rotation.....
October 13th, 2016 at 9:57 AM ^
Same goes for Wyatt Shallman. I figured he would have been a perfect fit in this offense. I can't remember any big injuries
October 13th, 2016 at 10:08 AM ^
I believe I saw Shallman as a LB on the roster
October 13th, 2016 at 10:09 AM ^
He's currently listed as a LB
October 13th, 2016 at 10:34 AM ^
You can't play at fullback if you're not willing to block.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:52 AM ^
Friend of a friend.
Recurrent knee injuries and re-aggravations, pretty much since he arrived on campus.
October 13th, 2016 at 12:52 PM ^
That's a shame. These guys works so hard. All atheltes do. It sucks he can't compete.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:57 AM ^
October 13th, 2016 at 11:43 AM ^
His flow?
October 13th, 2016 at 11:54 AM ^
That is a complete supposition, but man he always seemed like he would be a great FB.
October 13th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
I had him on the depth chart as a FB for 2.5 years...eventually, I too, became frustrated and just gave up.
And what's so effing stupid is...if he was the starting FB for Harbaugh? He'd have more carries and touchdown than he'd EVER have trying to stay and compete for time a RB.
Oh well. Hopefully he can find a role as a healthy backup LB next year or a special teams player.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if he and Shane head over to a MAC or GVSU next year.
October 13th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
his older sister is an avid MgoBlog reader so I thought that may help get some playing time.
October 13th, 2016 at 9:57 AM ^
Hard to say. Even a talented guy with potential would have a hard time getting meaningful snaps with this 2 deep.
We're bringing Rashan Gary off the bench at the moment...
October 13th, 2016 at 11:19 AM ^
Let that sink in. 6 games into his freshman year the #1 recruit (and by many viewed as one of the most college ready d-line guys to come out of high school) is coming in off the bench for this team. That's.......AWESOME!

Yep. Lawrence Marshall fumbled twice in one game.
Wait...
October 13th, 2016 at 11:29 AM ^
doesn't get you booted off the travel roster and depth chart.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:38 AM ^
I was kidding.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:02 AM ^
He got some snaps early on against Hawaii (2 tackles) and UCF (1 tackle, 1 hurry). Between the blowouts on the field and injuries to Hurst and Charlton, there was far more to go around back then. Not sure if he saw the field against Rutgers, but I wouldn't have expected him to play much in competitive games against Colorado or Wisconsin at least.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:04 AM ^
Odd to think that he and Malik McDowell were part of the same high school class, and from the same high school. I know many of us hoped he'd somewhat lessen the blow of losing out on Malik. Instead, he may not play a meaningful snap before Malik gets a multi-million dollar signing bonus.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:06 AM ^
Everyone will play vs. Illinois

He was a stud. My first time seeing him was his junior year against Oxford, and on the first play of the game Oxford ran a naked boot, and he flat out destroyed the QB. That same series he blocked a punt and ran it back for a td.
People were asking themselves who is this kid? Michigan, MSU, and Syracuse were all at that game to see him.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:47 AM ^
Yeah, but it was Oxford. They haven't produced much in the way of football talent since Dave Rayner and Eric Ghiaciuc in the early 2000's.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:19 AM ^
October 13th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
The other brother, Prescott, transferred from SMU to Sparty and is their starting full back this year. He may be the best blocker on the team, and that's not an exagerration.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:26 AM ^
It was the same thing against Clarkston. Marshall was a terror, almost knocked our QB into next week. Malik was good but took plays off. Came away from the game thinking Michigan got the better of the two.
October 13th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
You mean the same Oxford that put two brothers at SMU, one was the Gatorade Football Player of the Year (Prescott Line). Zack Line plays for the Vikings currently, and Prescott is now the starting FB for Michigan State. The same QB I was talking about is now at Navy.
October 13th, 2016 at 10:30 AM ^
October 13th, 2016 at 10:38 AM ^
Sam Webb has maintained he has been injured for a few weeks...
October 13th, 2016 at 10:58 AM ^
hoping Marshall gets healthy and ready to play. Looking at depth at DE in 2017, we have Gary, Winovich, Kemp and a few others who haven't logged any meaningful time. Would be great if Marshall picked it up. Huge opportunity for him next season.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:05 AM ^
This season, Michigan would be fine without him because of having outstanding talent and depth. Next year after a bunch of guys are gone is when Marshall will really be needed. Hopefully he can get healthy and get some snaps this season to prepare him for 2017.
October 13th, 2016 at 12:08 PM ^
Agreed, let's see what happens next year where there is a clear path and opportunity for him before worrying overmuch. There is a ton of talent on this current line and he's still only a RS Soph. He has plenty of time left in his Michigan career and we've seen a lot of guys have the light go on.
I say we give this time before worrying overmuch about it.
October 13th, 2016 at 2:39 PM ^
Yes, and speculating that he's "in the doghouse" or has character issues when you know NOTHING about it is irresponsible and unfair to a 20 year old kid.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:06 AM ^
Who would he be getting snaps ahead of right now? This defense is becoming a finely tuned demon spawn.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:16 AM ^
Probably going to need him in 2017. Hope he comes back strong.
October 13th, 2016 at 11:18 AM ^
October 13th, 2016 at 11:55 AM ^
I'm glad you asked this honestly.
