The Wolverine

Maurice Hurst Jr. DT 3 Comment: A breakout performer of the spring, he has the ability to play inside or out, but faces stiff competition along the line. Da'Mario Jones WR 3 Comment: After brief seven-game stint in 2013, continues to fall further and fur- ther down the depth chart at receiver. Patrick Kugler OC 4 Comment: Patience is thinning for this heralded center, whose path remains blocked by fifth-year senior Graham Glasgow. Jourdan Lewis CB 4 Comment: Ready to enter the upper-echelon of cover cornerbacks in the country. Mike McCray LB 4 Comment: Injuries have slowed the very promising physical specimen from reach- ing his potential. Shane Morris QB 4 Comment: Faces a one-year window to win the quarterback job or his status at Michigan could become muddled. Henry Poggi TE 4 Comment: Could play both ways, but for now is being asked to add depth and talent to tight end position. Dan Samuelson OL 3 Comment: Lacks the physicality to compete for a starting job and is expected to slip into the background. Wyatt Shallman FB 4 Comment: Could wear many hats for the Wolverines this year: fullback, H-back, tailback and even tight end. De'Veon Smith RB 3 Comment: Finished the spring as U-M's best tailback and should earn carries as one of Michigan's three top rushers this fall. Channing Stribling CB 3 Comment: Hitting a crossroads in his career with the chance to become a solid third corner or slide down the depth chart. Scott Sypniewski LS 3 Comment: Will be afforded every opportunity to win the long-snapper job this fall. Dymonte Thomas S 4 Comment: Doesn't quite fit at safety but is too small to move to linebacker; should excel on special teams, though. Logan Tuley-Tillman OL 4 Comment: Starting to blossom and could be the first offensive tackle to enter due to injury or ineffectiveness from a starter.
