Way Too Early 2017 Depth Chart: March 2017

Back in August I took a look at how the depth chart might look in 2017 (LINK), and then I updated it in September (LINK), November (LINK), January (LINK), and February (LINK). Of course, things are always fluid, there will be early departures, there will be injuries, etc. But now that we have the 2017 class signed or enrolled early, things are perhaps a little bit clearer.

Hit the jump for another early look at 2017.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Rome (GA) Rome defensive end Jamarcus Chatman was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’3″, 261 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Florida State, LSU, and Texas, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #14 strongside end, and #355 overall.

Houston (TX) Dekaney tight end Malcolm Epps decommitted from Alabama. He’s a 6’5″, 218 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #6 tight end, and #134 overall. This happened back in early February, but somehow I forgot to post about it. Anyway, despite Michigan pursuing him hard at times, he appears right now to be headed for in-state Texas.

DeSoto (TX) DeSoto cornerback German Green was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 168 lb. prospect with offers from Colorado, Houston, and Oklahoma State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #78 cornerback, and #848 overall. He’s the twin brother of 2018 cornerback Gemon Green, whom Michigan offered previously and is recruiting pretty hard. Gemon is the #34 cornerback and #398 overall.

Hit the jump for a new 2019 offer, a new 2020 offer, and some other bits.

Jim Harbaugh tweeted out the results of Michigan’s spring combine. I won’t list all of the results (though I’m embedding the tweet below), but here are a few notable achievements and takeaways:

  • Freshman WR Donovan Peoples-Jones is the fastest guy on the team with a 4.41 forty
  • Peoples-Jones also has the best vertical at 39″
  • Chris Evans swept the RB drills and ran a 4.62 forty
  • Zach Gentry is back at TE and ran a 4.7 forty
  • Jon Runyan, Jr. almost swept the OL category, with one lone loss to Cesar Ruiz in the pro shuttle
  • Lavert Hill and David Long tied with a 4.52 forty
  • Rashan Gary led the defensive line with a 4.57 forty, so he’s just 0.05 seconds slower than Michigan’s two presumed starting corners

In his own words – Kevin Koger, Part 1

(image via Wikipedia)

 

This week I had the pleasure of talking to former Michigan co-captain Kevin Koger.  Kevin played tight end from 2008-2011, and now is the receivers coach at Eastern Kentucky University.  We had a really fun conversation that touched on a little bit of everything.  In Part 1, we talk about his transition to coaching and the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry.  In Part 2 (tomorrow) we get a little more in depth about the 2010 and 2011 seasons, and his perspective on the transition from Coach Rodriguez to Coach Hoke.  I hope you enjoy!
