Of Michigan’s freshman football players, quarterback J.J. McCarthy has garnered much of the attention because of his five-star ranking coming out of high school and the position he plays.
But of the 10 players who enrolled early at Michigan participating in spring practice, nine are offensive players, including highly rated running back Donovan Edwards. Earlier this year, Edwards helped lead West Bloomfield High School to a state championship.
“We’ve got the highest number of mid-year offensive enrollees we’ve ever had, which has provided us tremendous depth this spring,” offensive coordinator Josh Gattis said Wednesday in a video conference with reporters.
