2019 Season Countdown: #106 Brandon Peters

Brandon Peters

I swear this was already in the works prior to the announcement yesterday that Brandon Peters entered the transfer portal. Due to the probability of Peters’s transferring after being dropped to at least fifth on the quarterback depth chart, I initially put Peters at #107 in the countdown before bumping him up to #106 while doing some revising.

Rather than reiterating what I already wrote in the Ex-Wolverine post, I’ll just link that post here if you want to check it out (LINK).

One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post is that Peters is the tenth member of the 2016 class to leave due to transfers or off-the-field issues. Of the 28 signees in 2016, the only offensive skill players remaining on the roster are tight ends Sean McKeon and Nick Eubanks.

2019 Season Countdown: #107 Kyle Grady

Name: Kyle Grady
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 178 lbs.
High school: San Diego (CA) Point Loma
Position: Quarterback
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #14
Last year: I did not rank Grady. He redshirted.
TTB Rating: N/A

Grady committed to Michigan in 2018 as a preferred walk-on. Like most freshman walk-ons, he did not see action last year. This season Grady is once again buried on the depth chart, but he could be a good player for Michigan’s scout team offense. He looks like a decent walk-on guy with a decent arm and a bit of athleticism, but he’s not a standout athlete.

Prediction: Backup, scout team quarterback
