Barnhart, a high school tight end, has impressed the Michigan coaches with his off-season preparation. He has reportedly put on a healthy chunk of weight and grown stronger. That’s a positive for his potential to play earlier than previously expected, because he was lacking bulk during his senior year of high school. His athleticism should translate well to the college game, but adding weight is often a more difficult proposition. I still don’t expect Barnhart to play during the 2019 season, but he could potentially be a blocking tight end early in his career, if needed.
