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.

Hit the jump for the depth chart.

Visitors: April 8-10, 2022

Here is a look at who’s visiting Michigan. These visitors are actually trickling in throughout the week, not just this coming weekend.

GRAD TRANSFER

Cam Goode – DT – UCF: Originally from Washington (DC) St. John’s, Goode signed with Virginia Tech in 2018 and then ended up at UCF. Listed at 6’2″ and 315 lbs., he started three games in 2021 and made 24 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 1 interception, 4 forced fumbles, 3 pass breakups, and 4 quarterback hurries. This is an official visit.

2022 Season Countdown: #130 Joey Klunder

Name: Joey Klunder
Height: 6’4″
Weight: 230 lbs.
High school: Grosse Pointe (MI) South
Position: Defensive end
Class: Freshman
Jersey number: N/A
Last year: Klunder was a senior in high school.
TTB Rating: N/A

Klunder eschewed offers from Air Force, Army, and a variety of FCS schools in order to become a preferred walk-on at Michigan. He ended up ranked as a 247 Composite 3-star, the #209 defensive lineman, and #1772 overall.

Klunder is most likely just a practice squad player for this season, and he will have considerable talent to compete with for the remainder of his career at Michigan. But it’s nice to get a walk-on who had other FCS offers.

Site News: Thank You!

I want to say thank you to all who donated via Paypal over the past week or so! I was amazed at the response. I thought it might take a few months to make it happen, and I was even slightly worried that we wouldn’t be able to pull it off this year. I wanted to hit $3,400 and we made it to about $3,450 as of today.

So thank you to the following people (first names only):

My next step will be to take it to people more technically advanced than me who can make the thingamajiggers work. It won’t be fixed overnight, but we’ll get the process started.

Thank you!
