BY CHRIS BALAS T he Michigan football depth chart will likely change a number of times this fall, but the spring game did offer an idea of where things stand after 15 practices. Here's a look at what we expect it to look like at the beginning of August. Class years listed are for the 2015 campaign. Offense Wide Receiver: Redshirt junior Amara Darboh 6-2, 216 pounds The sturdy veteran led all receivers with 75 yards on four catches in the spring game, though he did drop a deep ball that would have put him over 100. He broke out with 473 receiving yards and two touchdowns last year, and though he's not a blazer he did average 13.1 yards per reception. Backup: Redshirt sophomore Jaron Dukes Left Tackle: Sophomore Mason Cole 6-5, 287 pounds Cole started as a true freshman, but got plenty of max protect help from backs and tight ends in pass protection a year ago. He still isn't big — looks a bit undersized, in fact, for the position — but he's solid and one of the most fundamentally sound of the linemen. Backup: Redshirt sophomore Logan Tuley-Tillman Left Guard: Redshirt junior Ben Braden 6-6, 331 pounds Braden looks the part, but he's still struggling in pass protection. His ath- leticism and size combined make him one of the more impressive players on the roster, but it needs to translate on the field. Backup: Redshirt sophomore David Dawson Establishing Order Breaking Down The Wolverines' Likely Starters
