2022 Season Countdown: #129 Nico Andrighetto

Name: Nico Andrighetto
Height: 5’9″
Weight: 180 lbs.
High school: Mountain View (CA) St. Francis
Position: Safety
Class: Freshman
Jersey number: N/A
Last year: Andrighetto was a senior in high school. He made 75 tackles, 4 forced fumbles, 3 interceptions, and 1 touchdown.
TTB Rating: N/A

Andrighetto turned down offers from Colgate and Columbia to become a walk-on at Michigan, where his older brother Lucas spent several years as a walk-on running back. Nico was a 247 Sports 2-star and the #209 running back overall. He won “Defensive Back of the Year” in the West Catholic Athletic League in California and his biggest “weakness” is his height. If he were two or three inches taller, he would probably be a Power 5 scholarship player. Chances are slim that Andrighetto becomes much of a contributor at Michigan, except perhaps as a special teams player down the road. But this season should be a redshirt year for him.

Prediction: Redshirt

Way Too Early 2022 Depth Chart: April 2022

The following depth chart has removed a variety of players due to graduation, departures for the NFL, and transfers. I have made some updates/changes based upon the spring game and chatter surrounding practices.

It also assumes that every currently rostered player and every signed prospect will be here in the fall of 2022, which is obviously not true.
