Offense
Quarterback
Forcier/Robinson

| Forcier, Tate | 5 | QB | 1 | So. | 6'1" | 188 | Starter | 4.55 | 33" | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Robinson, Denard | 16 | QB | 2 | So. | 6'0" | 185 | Backup | 4.38 | 36" | 315 | 19 | 2.9 |
| Garnder, Devin | n/a | QB | 3 | Fr. | 6'4" | 196 | Recruit | 4.63 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Jones, Conelius | n/a | QB | 3 | Fr. | 6'2" | 185 | Recruit | 4.47 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 3.5 |
| Sheridan, Nick | 8 | QB | 5 | Sr. | 6'1" | 218 | Backup | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |

| Kennedy, Jack | 20 | QB | 6 | So. | 5'10" | 190 | Walk-on | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Comments: Tate Forcier will battle Denard Robinson for starter, but Devin Gardner and/or Conelius Jones will be in the mix for playing time. It looks like Devin Gardner may get to enroll early after all. Gardner and Jones give Michigan competition and depth. Nick Sheridan bring experience and is a capable backup. Nader Furha and Jack Kennedy also give us depth.

| Mealer, Elliott | 57 | LG | 2 | So. | 6'6" | 299 | Backup | 5.2 | n/a | 305 | n/a | 3.1 |
Comments: Quinton Washington may move to starter with Schilling to Left Tackle, and Barnum and Mealer will back up.
Left Tackle
Schilling
Schofield/Lewan/Barnum
| Schilling, Steve | 52 | LT | 1 | Sr. | 6'5" | 304 | Starter | 4.9 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | Yes |

Comments: I am predicting Schilling will move over to start his third position in four years at Left Tackle which will set up Quinton Washington to start at Left Guard.
Defense
Nose Tackle
Campbell
Martin/Sagesse
Comments: Will Campbell is too good not to start on the defensive line. Martin had shoulder surgery so he'll miss Spring drills, and will probably back up Campbell at Nose Tackle while starting at Defensive Tackle.
| Martin, Mike | 68 | NT | 1 | Jr. | 6'2" | 292 | Starter | 4.9 | n/a | 460 | n/a | 4.9 |

| Talbott, Terry | n/a | DT | 3 | Fr. | 6'3" | 265 | Recruit | 4.87 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Comments: VanBergen may move to Defensive End with Brandon Graham graduating. So this leaves Mike Martin as the starter! He'll be backed up by Greg Banks, Anthony Lolata, Richard Ash and Terry Talbott. Chris Eddins is also walking on.

Comments: The competition is between VanBergen, Walk-on Heinager and Newcomers Jibreel Black and Kenny Wilkins. Will Obi Ezeh move to DE?

| Paskorz, Jordan | n/a | Quick LB | 3 | Fr. | 6'4" | 223 | Recruit | 4.74 | 34" | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Comments: True Frosh Craig Roh earned the starting position with Brandon Herron as backup. Will Roh move inside? Herron has been rumored as lifting 26 reps with 225 lbs. and a single at 435 lbs., 38.5" vertical jump and a 4.48 40 yard dash. Pretty impressive if true. Jordan Paskorz and Davion Rogers may need to redshirt in 2010. Paskorz a Cut Above
