Walk on Tru Wilson cracks Michigan's RB depth chart for opener

ANN ARBOR -- Tru Wilson is going to get an opportunity here.

The former walk on has emerged from fall camp as the No. 3 option at running back on Michigan's internal depth chart, paving the way for playing time this Saturday at Notre Dame (7:30 p.m., NBC).

"He's done a great job," Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday on the Big Ten coaches' teleconference.

"Yeah, I would say he's risen to No. 3, yup."

A 5-foot-10, 202-pound junior from Warren, Wilson turned heads in spring for his availability and standout play.
