Way Too Early 2021 Depth Chart: April 2021

The following depth chart has removed the following players from the 2020 depth chart for various reasons:

• LB William Mohan (transfer)
• S Hunter Reynolds (transfer)
• WR Giles Jackson (transfer)
• C Zach Carpenter (transfer to Indiana)
• RB Zach Charbonnet (transfer to UCLA)
• WR Giles Jackson (transfer)
• QB Joe Milton (transfer)
• RB Christian Turner (transfer to Wake Forest)
• LB Ben VanSumeren (transfer to Michigan State)
• DE Luiji Vilain (transfer to Wake Forest)

It also assumes that every currently rostered player and every currently committed prospect will be here in 2021, which is obviously not true.

William Mohan, Ex-Wolverine

Rising second-year linebacker William Mohan has entered the transfer portal. Mohan made 1 tackle on special teams last season.

I gave Mohan a TTB Rating of 88 when he committed (LINK). He was a whirling dervish coming off the edge. At 6’1″ and 205 lbs., he still had some filling out to do but I thought he could be a terror. He was a 3-star, the #23 athlete, and #461 overall coming out of high school in 2020.

Recruited for the Viper position that is now obsolete with the departure of defensive coordinator Don Brown, obviously he did not see a fit with the new defensive staff. I expect Macdonald to use more of a safety-like presence as a nickel player rather than running out a quasi-linebacker on almost every down. As I’ve mentioned previously, it’s much easier to move safeties up into the box than to teach a linebacker to play safety.

Michigan now has 86 scholarship players on the roster (LINK), so at least one more player needs to depart before Michigan is under its limit for 2021.
