This is the first of 108 installments, running down the least to most important football players for the Michigan football program in 2019. I look forward to writing them and reading your comments. As always, please feel free to send donations my way via Paypal or by using the Amazon LINKS:
Name: Lucas Andrighetto Height: 5’11” Weight: 180 lbs. High school: Mountain View (CA) St. Francis Position: Running back Class: Redshirt freshman Jersey number: #49 Last year: I did not rank Andrighetto. He won Scout Team Defense Player of the Week during Northwestern week. TTB Rating: N/A
Andrighetto was not a highly touted recruit, not even a highly touted walk-on. He played safety on the scout team last year, earning one Scout Team Defense Player of the Week.
This spring, with depth issues at the running back position, Andrighetto made the switch to offense. Head coach Jim Harbaugh gave him some publicity this spring, compliment his vision and quickness. Unfortunately, Andrighetto tore his ACL shortly after Harbaugh jinxed him, leaving the running back spot even thinner to finish out spring practice. Andrighetto would not have seen the field this fall, but scout team guys are still valuable. Andrighetto will probably miss a good chunk of the season, if not the whole thing, so it’s hard not to feel bad for the guy.
