Wolverine247 Board

Kyle Kalis, Ondre Pipkins, Amara Darboh/Jehu Chesson, AJ Williams, Devin Funchess, Tom Strobel, and Ben Braden.

If Clark is suspended and or off the team it is almost a given Mario O will see the field.

No, one of Strobel or Wormley will shift over there, Ojemudia is a year or two away from the field.

- Joe Bolden at MIKE is already in the two deep so he has a good chance of seeing the field.

- One of the TEs will have to play, perhaps both. Devin Funchess could come in in passing situations and be a great receiving threat. AJ Williams is a mammoth at 6'6 280 already, so he has the size to play right away. I'd be shocked if he took a RS.

- At least one WR will play as well, and we're lucky that both will probably be ready. Amara Darboh has the size at 6'4 218, and Chesson is beefier than he was and still reports a 4.4. With the weakness of our receiving corps, they'll probably see the field as well.

- Dennis Norfleet could win one of the returning spots that are up for grabs after a pretty poor season at the position last year.

- Kyle Kalis is the only OL that should be ready, and our depth is spotty at best so he'll definitely see the field if an injury occurs. He could even be in the mix for the starting LG spot over Burzynski/Mealer by mid-season.

- Ondre Pipkins will have to play a serious amount of time, as we really only have him and Will Campbell at NT. I'm a little concerned about his weight (he's already the heaviest guy on the team), but as long as he can engulf double teams and keep his agility, he should be in the mix to step up if Campbell disappoints.

- One of the 3/5-tech guys will get a good shot at getting some serious PT, especially considering how much Mattison loves rotating the DL. My order, in terms of likelihood to play, would be Chris Wormley, Tom Strobel, Matt Godin, Willie Henry.

- Jarrod Wilson could easily make the two deep due to his EE, and I think he'll be there by the season's end.

mario is way to small. he will red shirt. hes only 223 lbs

you forgot about the guy that's been there since spring and is the most likely to see the field joe bolden.

Doubt he passes Desmond Morgan, kid is a football player.

I think you will see a lot. Depth of talent is an issue for us so I think the coaches will get a lot of the true freshman's feet wet.

Chris Wormley,

Bolden is the backup at MIKE. Morgan is the starter at WILL

They both played very little though because of lack of depth and some injuries.

Playing WDE is more about athleticism then speed. Its ability to make plays in the run or pass, accounting for play action, misdirection, RB chips, and screens. I can see strobel filling in, Beyer is there now and I don't see a noticeable difference in athleticism from Strobel.

they wont play mario at 223. they had no back ups last year. they were the only back ups for roh. hoke made them both put on weight. clarks at 260 and beyer is at 252.
