If you’re not aware of Korican, he initially committed to Oregon State as a preferred walk-on in the 2018 class. After taking a visit to Michigan in June, he flipped to the Wolverines. He redshirted as a freshman and then worked his way into some playing time in 2019. The staff gave him some snaps in a couple blowout wins, against Middle Tennessee and Rutgers.

Korican is not a threat to take one of the four open starting jobs this fall. Michigan has plenty of athletic, highly rated linemen to do that. But Korican does have some talent and he’s a little over 300 pounds, so he’s capable of helping out on the scout team; he could also be on the field goal unit or play a backup role, perhaps to keep a freshman from burning his redshirt.

Prediction: Backup offensive guard
