Karsen Barnhart, in a way, has been the glue of the Michigan offensive line over the past two seasons. The Paw Paw, Michigan native played just about everywhere on the offensive line for the Wolverines, including starts 26 starts across three different positions since the start of the 2022 season.
As a freshman in 2019, Barnhart played in just two games at left guard. He then played in all six games during the 2020 season with four starts coming at left tackle. Two more starts came at left guard in 2021 but Barnhart was still looking for that full-time starting job with the Wolverines.
