Brady Pallante

Redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Brady Pallante is not listed on the just-released fall roster. The 6’1″, 280-pounder was recruited by Brady Hoke in the 2014 class and was expected to be an undersized nose tackle. Jim Harbaugh moved him to fullback in spring 2015, but he played defensive tackle when injuries took their toll on Michigan’s defensive line. I thought he might develop as an upperclassman, but the position switch probably didn’t help him gain the necessary size and strength to be a Big Ten nose tackle. Michigan has also done a great job of recruiting and developing nose tackles, so he would have been no higher than fourth on the depth chart going into this season. I ranked him at #67 in the 2016 Season Countdown (LINK).

Michigan is down to 84 allotted scholarships for 2016 (LINK), and that includes walk-ons Kenny Allen and Ryan Glasgow. So one more lucky, hardworking walk-on will be rewarded with a scholarship this year.

    Wyatt Shaliman is now rostered as an LB.

    Ruebon Jones and Shelton Johnson seem to be losing weight rather than gaining.

        I considered doing a post about the weight changes, but nothing looks too concerning. The guys who need to add weight generally seem to be adding weight, and the guys who needed to lose weight seem to be losing weight. I still wish Drake Harris was bigger than 188 lbs., but at least it’s a step in the right direction.

      Those heights/weights haven’t changed an ounce since at least the spring (maybe even the fall), so I think they just haven’t been updated yet. It’s practically impossible for neither one to have gained or lost a pound in one full year of college.
