2019 Season Countdown: #105 Kraig Correll

I apologize for not posting more recently. With some personal stuff going on, there just hasn’t been enough time to get everything done, so writing went on the back burner a little bit. I know we don’t all know each other, but any positive vibes you can send in the direction of my family and me would be appreciated.

Name: Kraig Correll
Height:
6’4″
Weight:
288 lbs.
High school:
Blairstown (NJ) Blair Academy
Position:
Center
Class:
Redshirt freshman
Jersey number:
#54
Last year:
I did not rank Correll. He redshirted.
TTB Rating:
N/A

It’s tough for walk-on linemen to see the field at a school like Michigan unless your last name is Glasgow, so Correll is likely bound for the bottom depths of the chart. However, he has good size for a lineman and I liked his film coming out of high school, at least to the extent of being a potential option with some development down the road. There was no buzz about Correll this off-season – while a couple other walk-ons did get some attention – but it’s still just going into his redshirt freshman season. He should make a solid practice player at a position (center) where smarts and toughness sometimes trump size and athleticism.

Prediction: Backup center

Nightly Roundup: May 8, 2019

Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste is transferring (LINK). We had heard before that he was medically retiring. This seems like an Ondre Pipkins situation, where Michigan didn’t think he could keep playing and/or didn’t want him taking up a scholarship, but he thought he could still play and went to Texas Tech to prove it.

Aaron McMann went out on a limb and predicted that Shea Patterson will be the starting QB in 2019 (LINK).
