All had a breakout season in 2021. After struggling with drops and confidence in 2020, he became a very reliable target for Cade McNamara. Whether it was McNamara or the coaching staff, somebody decided to focus on him more as the season went along. After not topping 28 yards in the first half of the year, he had games with 98, 64, 63, and 43 yards down the stretch, including a 10-catch performance against Michigan State. But the biggest highlight of his year was the 47-yard game winning catch and run against Penn State. Michigan got man coverage and ran a pick route for All, who dragged across the field and outraced the entire defense to pull out kind of an ugly win.
In many years, someone like All could be ranked even higher, but the depth at tight end is pretty ridiculous. Michigan has four seniors at the position (All, Joel Honigford, Luke Schoonmaker, and walk-on Carter Selzer), and perhaps the most talented guys have barely played yet, like Louis Hansen, Matt Hibner, and Colston Loveland. All has been named a captain and is a good blocker, so he’s an important piece of an offense that will frequently use multiple tight ends.
Prediction: Starting tight end; 40 catches for 430 yards and 3 touchdowns
