Groups already previewed:
Special Teams,
Offensive Line
The defensive line is one of the strongest position groups on this team.
The Wolverines lost Willie Henry, but return Bryan Mone.
The keys to watch in this year’s Spring Game will be the
depth guys, the guys who can come in for a play or two and give the starters a
break.
Shelton Johnson is one of many who should be watched next Friday
at The Big House. Another is Lawrence Marshall. Marshall played a very strong
Spring Game last year, but only played in three games all season.
Marshall, like others on the defensive line will be a
reserve lineman who come in as a rotational guy, or see time on goal line
situations.
Chase Winovich, Taco Charlton, Chris Wormley, Maurice Hurst,
Mone, Ryan Glasgow, and Matt Godin all return this year.
I do not expect Glasgow to play in the Spring Game after the surgery last year
for his torn pectoral muscle, but he could be ready to go by the first game,
key word is could be.

Mone began practicing later in the season last year and
should be a full go for the Spring Game. It will give fans an opportunity to
get a look at Mone, who could make a strong push for a starting role, or a role
involving a high snap count for him if he plays well on Friday.
The defensive line for the Spring Game is fairly cut and
dry. Besides a few guys who are vying just to try and crack a few plays per
game, or regular special teams playing time the field is basically set for now.
The defensive line competition will really begin to heat up
over summer practices, but as of right for Spring ball, it’s fairly set.
