Name: Sam Staruch
Height: 6’3″
Weight: 185 lbs.
High school: Lake Orion (MI) Lake Orion
Position: Wide receiver
Class: Freshman
Last year: Staruch was a senior in high school.
I don’t have much background information on Staruch, but based on his senior film, I think he has the best natural receiving skills of the preferred walk-ons. He’s a lanky kid with decent speed and good ball skills. Dayton (FCS) offered, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had other FCS interest.
As a freshman preferred walk-on, he’s very unlikely to see the field. But that could be a possibility in the next few years.
Hit the jump for his senior highlights.

Name: Christian Bartholomew
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 180 lbs.
High school: Kalamazoo (MI) Hackett
Position: Quarterback/wide receiver
Class: Freshman
Jersey number: N/A
Last year: Bartholomew was a senior in high school.
Bartholomew committed to Michigan as a preferred walk-on. He runs a 4.5 forty and on his Hudl page, he claims a 245 lb. bench and a 385 lb. squat. Though he played quarterback as a senior, he caught 66 passes for 1,131 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior, and he made 78 catches for 1,029 yards and 9 touchdowns as a sophomore.
I’m not so sure about that 4.5 forty time, but Bartholomew looks like that kind of good all-around athlete who could eventually earn some playing time either at receiver or on special teams.
Prediction: Redshirt
Hit the jump for his senior highlights.
