46 THE WOLVERINE MAY 2021 MICHIGAN FOOTBALL THE WOLVERINE'S SPRING DEPTH CHART This depth chart has been assembled based on what we've picked up in spring interviews, on and off the record. Because 2020 was a "free" year of eligibility per the NCAA, everybody's class eligibility is repeated from last fall. OFFENSE Quarterback No. Player Ht. Wt. Class 12 Cade McNamara 6-1 205 R-Fr. 9 J.J. McCarthy 6-3 195 Fr. Note: Texas Tech transfer Alan Bowman will join the team this summer to try to compete for the starting job.

Class 8 Ronnie Bell 6-0 190 Jr. 1 Andrel Anthony 6-2 180 Fr. Note: Anthony has been one of the spring's top surprises, a speedster who made an impression. Wide Receiver No. Player Ht. Wt.

Left Tackle No. Player Ht. Wt. Class 76 Ryan Hayes 6-7 302 R-So. 52 Karsen Barnhart 6-4 301 R-Fr.

Class 77 Trevor Keegan 6-6 327 R-Fr. or 66 Chuck Filiaga 6-6 345 R-Jr. Note: Barnhart has been banged up but could get a look here, as well.

Class 65 Zak Zinter 6-6 334 Fr. 70 Nolan Rumler 6-3 328 R-Fr. Note: Zinter is the "bell cow" of the line, per Gattis, and can play center, as well. He could be Michigan's next great up front.
