Way Too Early 2023 Depth Chart: January 2023

The following depth chart has removed these listed players from the depth chart due to various reasons, even though some could return with a fifth year or COVID year exception:

• QB Alan Bowman (transfer to Oklahoma State)
• QB Cade McNamara (transfer to Iowa)
• WR Andrel Anthony, Jr. (transfer to Oklahoma)

It also assumes that every currently rostered player and every currently committed prospect will be here in 2023, which is obviously not true.

Visitors: January 13-15, 2023

2024

Jordan Marshall – RB – Cincinnati (OH) Archbishop Moeller: Marshall is a 5’11”, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #12 running back, and #168 overall. Marshall was Gatorade’s Ohio Football Player of the Year after rushing for 1,961 yards and scoring 30 touchdowns on the ground, plus adding 19 catches for 364 yards and 4 receiving touchdowns. Marshall has visited Michigan several times.

Jacob Oden – S – Harper Woods (MI) Harper Woods: Oden is a 6’1″, 188-pounder with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #23 athlete, and #191 overall. He’s the son of Harper Woods head coach Rod Oden, who was a walk-on fullback at Michigan in the 1990s.

Bryce West – S – Cleveland (OH) Glenville: West is a 5’11”, 177 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #6 cornerback, and #61 overall. He made 4 interceptions as a junior.

Eyabi Okie, Ex-Wolverine

Michigan outside linebacker Eyabi Okie is entering the transfer portal. He has one more year of eligibility remaining and has also spent time at Alabama, Houston, and UT-Martin.

Okie was a 5-star recruit to Alabama in the class of 2018. But off-the-field issues led to him transferring multiple times. He seemed to sort things out at UT-Martin in 2021, and he was a late addition to Michigan’s program in August, even after camp began.

Early in the 2022 season, Okie was a situational pass rusher, but he earned more playing time as the season went along, especially once Mike Morris got hurt a couple weeks before the end of the season. Okie made 18 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 2 pass breakups, and 4 quarterback hurries during his one year in Ann Arbor.

I would not be surprised to see Okie follow his high school coach, former Michigan staffer Biff Poggi, to Charlotte, where Poggi is now the head coach.

Here’s a look at what’s remaining at the EDGE positions for 2023:

EDGE: Braiden McGregor (RS Jr.), Derrick Moore (So.), Kechaun Bennett (RS So.), Enow Etta (Fr.)
Rush LB: Jaylen Harrell (RS Jr.), Josaiah Stewart (Jr.), Tyler McLaurin (RS So.), Aymeric Koumba (Fr.)

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2025

Justin Baker – RB – Buford (GA) Buford: Baker is a 5’9″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Penn State, and USC, among others. Buford is a powerhouse program in the Peach State, but Michigan has not signed anyone from the program since 2018 when running back Christian Turner signed with the Wolverines.

Avery Gach – OT – Franklin (MI) Groves: Gach is a 6’5″, 275-pounder with offers from Maryland, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Despite his high profile – and the tendency for Michigan to dominate those in-state recruitments – both of Gach’s parents graduated from Michigan State, so he’s a Spartan legacy. He did, however, travel to Columbus to watch Michigan beat Ohio State in the Horseshoe.

Justin Hill – DE – Cincinnati (OH) Winton Woods: Hill is a 6’4″, 205 lb. edge prospect who has offers from Kentucky and Michigan State. His high school teammate, cornerback Cameron Calhoun, recently signed with Michigan in the 2023 class.

Peyton Joseph – OG – Fort Valley (GA) Peach County: Joseph is a 6’4″, 280-pounder with offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Notre Dame, among others.

Christian Pierce – LB – Oak Lawn (IL) Brother Rice: Pierce is a 6’0″, 210 lb. inside linebacker who’s the brother of Michigan signee Roderick Pierce. The younger brother has offers from Akron, Illinois, and Texas.
