Previously: The Story. Quarterback. Running Back. Wide Receiver. THE POTATOMAN COMETH RATING: 5 Depth Chart Flex Yr. Inline Yr. Colston Loveland So. AJ Barner Jr.* Matt Hibner So.* Max Bredeson So.* Marlin Klein Fr.* Trente Jones Sr.* [Barron] Last year's preview had a brief aside about COLSTON LOVELAND [recruiting profile]. It made a very bad prediction about playing time: …true freshmen COLSTON LOVELAND and MARLIN KLEIN have a 0% chance of seeing meaningful snaps without a zombie apocalypse. Uhhh no. Bad prediction. At least this from the post-Illinois UFR was better: I think he's getting a crucial chunk pass off PA in The Game. Yessir! That preview did single Loveland out as the freshman tight end who was supposedly the Next One, per insider chatter. By the time the Big Ten Championship game rolled around, he was the Current One: And lo, here we are. I'm not sure I can recall a guy going into his true sophomore season who 1) hasn't really played a lot and 2) has the world convinced he's going to be an All-American like Loveland. Here's BTN analyst Rick Pizzo after taking in a Michigan practice: "You have a tight end in Colston Loveland that I think may be the breakout star in the Big Ten this year. Mark this down: he is going to be an NFL All-Pro at tight end." Well then. [After THE JUMP: why]
