2019 Season Countdown: #92 Trevor Keegan

Please consider helping out the blog by making some Amazon purchases via the links here (LINK):

Name: Trevor Keegan
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 301 lbs.
High school: Crystal Lake (IL) South
Position: Offensive tackle
Class: Freshman
Jersey number: N/A
Last year: Keegan was a senior in high school (LINK).
TTB Rating: 81

Keegan was a big-time prospect for Michigan to land, and it happened fairly late in the process. He committed in mid-December and then signed early. He ended up as a 247 Composite 4-star, the #16 offensive tackle, and #176 overall. Despite his high ranking, I see him as a prospect who probably needs a few years to develop. Many people thought Chuck Filiaga was going to come in and play immediately, but now he’s entering his third season and expected to be a backup once again, so it takes time, even for elite prospects. Michigan has enough depth on the offensive line to let Keegan redshirt this season.

Prediction: Redshirt

2019 Season Countdown: #93 Julian Garrett

Name: Julian Garrett
Height: 5’9″
Weight: 200 lbs.
High school: Centreville (VA) Centreville
Position: Running back
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #34
Last year: I did not rank Garrett. He redshirted.
TTB Rating: N/A

Garrett had a solid prep career before coming to Michigan as a walk-on last fall. He was named Scout Team Player of the Week a couple times during his true freshman year, once for offense and once for special teams. This spring when a bunch of injuries hit the running back position, he was getting a lot of time with the first team.

Despite getting time in the spring, he has reportedly entered the transfer portal and is looking to transfer closer to home. Coincidentally, I had him ranked at #93, so here’s kind of a dead spot in the countdown since he won’t be on the roster in the fall.

Prediction: Transfer
