Michigan Monday: True Freshmen and Thier Numbers

It's always interesting when true freshmen get their jersey numbers.  As it can be an early indication to future success.  For example, if a young WR gets the #1 jersey, there is a good chance he might see the field early.   The star of the 2022 was clearly 5-star DB Will Johnson and he will wear Charles Woodson's old #2.  No pressure there! Below are the numbers for the early enrolled freshmen:

  • WR Darrius Clemons: #0
  • CB Will Johnson: #2
  • DB Keon Sabb: #3
  • WR Amorion Walker: #4
  • DL Derrick Moore: #8
  • QB Alex Orji: #10
  • DB Kody Jones: #12
  • WR Tyler Morris: #13
  • QB Jayden Denegal: #16
  • TE Colston Loveland: #18
  • CB Myles Pollard: #24
  • DL Mason Graham: #55
  • OL Connor Jones: #60
My initial thoughts are, Clemons coming in with 0 could be a sign he is ready to contribute next season and love that Derrick Moore will be sporting #8 on the defensive line.   I have a really good feeling about Moore and think he might be the steal of this entire recruiting class.   One QB grabbed Tom Brady's old number and the other Denard's.  

  • Eamonn Dennis has switched from DB to WR on the Spring Roster.  The kid is known for great speed so he may be heading to a slot WR role.  The WR room is going to have a ton of speed.   Not sure if I have reported this or not, but Sainristil is listed as a WR on the roster, but the grapevine is saying he is working with the DB's. 
  • Michigan Basketball lost to Illinois at home on Sunday.  Thier NCAA Tournament chances are starting to slip away.
