2026 Season Countdown: #111-115

    #111. Hunter Robertson - P - Huntington Woods (MI) Berkley: Robertson is a 6'4", 205 lb. punter who transferred to Michigan from Clarion prior to last season. He got in one game as a backup holder, but he seems to have at least two punters ahead of him in the forms of Cam Brown and Hudson Hollenbeck. He has some experience at the D-II level with punting, placekicking, and kicking off, so perhaps he can help as a holder, kickoff specialist, or backup in some way.

    #112. Gary Stacy - RB - Grosse Pointe Woods (MI) Liggett: Stacy is a 6'1", 202 lb. walk-on who will be a redshirt freshman this fall. He scored 37 touchdowns over his final two seasons of high school football. His highlights are kind of a fun watch, and I see some potential there to possibly be a special teams player, fullback, or linebacker. He's too thin at this point to do much of anything this fall, but if he can stick around for a couple years and add 20 pounds of muscle, he might be able to bring something to the team on Saturdays.

    #113. Adam Bazzi - LB - Rochester Hills (MI) Stoney Creek: The 5'11", 205 lb. redshirt sophomore was a walk-on for Michigan's team in 2025 but did not see any game action. Bazzi made 84 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks as a senior in high school a few years ago, but his film doesn't indicate that he will much of a factor for the Wolverines.

    #114. Eli Musmand - DE - Brooklyn (NY) Poly Prep Country Day: Musmand is a second-year student who is listed as a 6'3", 223 lb. defensive end. He joined the program this spring. While his high school film from a couple seasons ago shows a high-effort player, he is limited athletically and obviously has a lot of weight to add before he could be trusted to hold up for a Big Ten team.

    #115. Peter Donini - OT - Summit (NJ) Delbarton: Donini is another walk-on this spring and is a 6'7", 270 lb. true freshman. He's a thrower for Michigan's track and field team, so there is some quality athleticism there, but a 270-pounder isn't anywhere close to playing offensive line for the University of Michigan at this point.

    Niko Kampas (image via SI)

    Niko Kampas - OT - London (England) NFL Academy: Kampas (4-star, #31 OT, #317 overall) is a 6'7", 279 lb. international prospect who has an official visit to Auburn and then one to Ann Arbor this weekend. Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and others have also offered, but the aforementioned two spots are his only scheduled officials. Kampas is originally from Germany, and Michigan has successfully recruited the likes of former defensive end Julius Welschof and current offensive lineman Manuel Beigel.



    A couple other players like Bolingbrook (IL) Bolingbrook running back T.J. Lewis and Westlake Village (CA) Westlake tight end Charles Davis were slated to take officials at one point, but Davis has committed to Cal in the meantime and it appears Lewis may not be much of a factor now that Michigan has two running back commitments.

    Way Too Early 2027 Depth Chart: May 2026

    The following depth chart is intended to show what players exist at what positions, which also shows the needs from the transfer portal and the remainder of the 2027 recruiting class. I have removed the following players due to expiring eligibility:

    • QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi
    • DE Cam Brandt
    • DT Trey Pierce
    • LB Nate Staehling
    • CB Zeke Berry
    • CB Snowden Smith
    • S Rod Moore
    • LS Nico Crawford

    It assumes that every currently rostered player and every currently committed prospect will be here in the fall of 2027, which is obviously not true.
