Another spring season is winding to a close, and it’s time to look back to see who made the most of their 15 offseason practices. This week we’ll be going around the Big Ten to find the biggest breakout player on each roster. Michigan is next on the list.
Spring breakout player: QB Wilton Speight
If not an afterthought, Wilton Speight was at least a dark-horse candidate in Michigan’s quarterback competition when the Wolverines flew to Florida in February to begin their camp. Speight left the team’s April 1 spring game as a slight favorite to win the job over redshirt juniors John O’Korn and Shane Morris.
