Van Fillinger – DE – Draper (UT) Corner Canyon: Fillinger decommitted from Texas immediately after they fired defensive coordinator Todd Orlando. He’s a 4-star, the #13 strongside end, and #285 overall. He could very well grow into a defensive tackle, which is something Michigan needs, but the home-state Utes appear to be his likeliest destination.

Based on how the 2019 regular season has gone, here’s a look at what the depth chart could look like in 2020.
NOTE: It’s hard to anticipate departures and there are a few I have in mind for transfer, but there have been rumblings about numerous players leaving early. Josh Uche has already accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl, so I removed him. DT Carlo Kemp and WR Tarik Black have previously given indications that this would be their final season in Ann Arbor, but I left them on here. Other players with decisions to make regarding the NFL: WR Nico Collins, WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, C Cesar Ruiz.

The Ohio State program is humming along at a pace that’s unprecedented for the Buckeyes. They have finished 1st or tied for 1st in their Big Ten division for the last eight seasons. To put that in perspective, Woody Hayes had six straight seasons finishing #1 or tied for #1 in the Big Ten, and Jim Tressel had five (six if you count the aborted Tatgate season). They have also beaten Michigan 15 out of the last 16 meetings, with the lone blip coming against one-year interim head coach Luke Fickell.
