Morning Roundup: May 22, 2019

Benjamin St-Juste

Former Michigan cornerback Benjamin St-Juste is transferring to Minnesota (LINK).

How much will Michigan’s tight ends be used this year (LINK)?

LeBron James – notorious for being an OSU fan – endorses Juwan Howard as the next Michigan basketball coach (LINK). I like James, but I’m not sure how to feel about that.

Oak Park 5-star offensive lineman Justin Rogers committed to Kentucky today (LINK).

This is a couple weeks old, but it’s some more silly stories from the short-lived AAF (LINK).

SI.com put together a mock 2020 NFL Draft (LINK). There are no Michigan players on the list, but there are a couple guys the Wolverines just barely missed out on.

2019 Season Countdown: #97 Jared Davis

Jared Davis

Name: Jared Davis
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 202 lbs.
High school: Frankenmuth (MI) Frankenmuth
Position: Safety
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Jersey number: #23
Last year: I ranked Davis #110 and said he would be a backup safety and special teamer (LINK). He did not see game action.
TTB Rating: N/A

There’s not a whole lot to say about Davis at this point. He went from being listed at 6’1″ and 180 lbs. last year to 5’11” and 202 lbs. this year, so he got shorter and put on 22 lbs. That’s an impressive one-year growth pattern! When we saw him in the spring, he was being slower than Michigan’s scholarship offensive skill players. Not a surprise. This year Davis is bound to fit into the same general niche, which is as a borderline special teamer.

Prediction: Backup safety, special teamer
