'He's good at both': UM freshman lineman Onwenu giving double effort

Ann Arbor —Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is so confident freshman lineman Michael Onwenu will factor on both sides of the ball throughout his college and pro careers, he’s willing to put a chocolate milkshake on the line.

Harbaugh, speaking to a small group of reporters Monday night after his weekly radio show, said Onwenu, who had about 35 snaps on offense and defense combined last Saturday against Rutgers, is not yet set on where he will play the majority of the time, because he’s good at both.

Onwenu is a 6-foot-3, 375-pound lineman from Detroit Cass Tech.
