Michigan released a spring roster update this week. Does it have much information in it? Nope. Are Yellowpages even thick enough for a kid to sit on anymore? Nope. Are we going to do The Jerk anyway? Of course we are. Other sites that cover Michigan checked it for things a casual fan might want to know about. But here at MGoBlog, we (use various Excel functions to) notice everything. Let’s =if(B2=vlookup all the columns! Here’s my comprehensive roster file, and our updated Depth Chart by Class. Let's rosterize! Many Former DTs Are Not On It Consider this the exit post for the following contributors: DT Donovan Jeter. I held out hope that last year’s top backup would come back for his 6th year, but Jeter hired an agent and is going to try to catch on in the NFL. DT Jess Speight. Speight could have taken a COVID 6th year but the program is listing him as out of eligibility. DT Jack Stewart. This one passed unnoticed somehow despite Stewart being a scholarship player. Recruited as an OL, Stewart tried to make the switch to nose tackle last year and never resurfaced. Just last week Stewart made MLive’s list of players returning. He was going into his 4th season but with COVID and a redshirt year he had sophomore eligibility, so there was plenty of time left to transition if it was going to happen. Apparently it is not. I’ll see if his name is in the portal; Stewart enrolled in Fall 2019, so if he took spring/summer classes along the way (most players do) it’s plausible he could have a degree before next season. DT Joey George. Another walk-on DT who threatened to get significant snaps at times last season. He appeared in 9 games over his career, but only in garbage time. He made UFR exactly once: on the last play of the 2021 season, moving a Georgia OL off the point of attack then missing the tackle to give up a 1st down and run out the clock. OL Griffin Korican. Korican was a Class of 2018 preferred walk-on who flipped to Michigan from Oregon State late, and occasionally popped up on depth charts, playing in 8 games. With a redshirt and the COVID year he had 2 years of eligibility remaining, but stayed 4 years so I assume he’s graduating. You’ll note four of these guys are all from the defensive tackle depth chart. Adding Chris Hinton gives us five interior linemen who got on the field last year who left with eligibility remaining. Tack on transfers Jordan Whittley and Elijah Pierre, who both ran out of eligibility, and it brings that number to seven(!) DTs from last year’s depth charts who won’t be on this one. This is kind of significant, in that it puts a lot of pressure on younger guys to be ready. Mazi Smith is back, fortunately, and Kris Jenkins came on late in the year to look poised for a breakout. However DT/DE Julius Welschof is reportedly gunning (or depending on whom you ask, leading) for one of the open “OLB” jobs, as is Michael Morris. Everybody else on the roster was a freshman last year (Rayshaun Benny, George Rooks, Ike Iwunnah), or arrives this year (Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant). Considering Michigan likes to play up to three of these guys at a time, that is a thin depth chart indeed. Presumably this means they’re confident Benny is ready to step in, some of the Don Brown anchors (Welschof, Morris, Gabe Newburg, Dom Giudice) can move down, and/or someone else from the list of young DTs is a better option than the departed. It’s not a panic moment yet, but it’s a concern, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they seek help from the transfer portal this spring. [After THE JUMP: Progressively less interesting things to glean]
