Keegan went the typical route in 2019 of redshirting as a true freshman. Michigan had four seniors starting on the offensive line, and the two guys battling for the open tackle position were redshirt freshmen with some recruiting hype themselves. Keegan also came in with a body that needed to be reformed a little bit, so I think the redshirt was a good plan.
Now those four senior linemen are gone, and Keegan would seem to have a shot at the open tackle position. He seems unlikely to win that battle against redshirt sophomore Ryan Hayes and others. Of the tackles in that 2019 class, Keegan earned the most practice hype and will probably find himself on the second unit. The staff needs to find out who can play, because there has been some buzz about the potential for Jalen Mayfield to jump to the NFL following his redshirt sophomore season.
Prediction: Backup offensive tackle

The turnaround on OL thanks to aggressive recruiting and Warriner has been one of the greatest successes of the Harbaugh era. Not the kind of thing that typically happens overnight but we’re finally ahead of the nearly decade-long struggle on OL.
In 2019 – sorry I mean YEAR FIVE!!! – Michigan did not have to cart out a true freshman starter on the offensive line. Rejoice.

It’s hard to parse which sophomore OL is going to be a starter but there’s a high chance that several of them will be.
*It’s hard not to write “if there’s a season” on any of these comments.
