Michigan football RB Zach Charbonnet emerged as a freshman. Now, he's completely healthy

Michigan football's Zach Charbonnet was productive as a true freshman.

He just wasn't completely healthy.

In the spring of 2019, Charbonnet arrived in Ann Arbor with injuries dating back to his high school career. He underwent a knee procedure and subsequently missed all of spring practices.

Charbonnet ran hard and finished as the Wolverines' leading rusher with 149 carries for 726 yards and 11 touchdowns (a program record for a true freshman), but the injuries lingered.
