Before we get to the depth chart, I'd like to share a story on Michigan fans. So in 2014, I spent my spring break in Indianapolis at the Big Ten Tournament. For most people, this trip means that you get to spend a few days getting bombed and watching the occasional basketball game, but for a few friends and I, it meant that we were going to a ton of games because holy balls the Big Ten Tournament rules. I think we went to every game. It was fun.
There were two things that I took away: 1) Aaron Craft screwing up and costing Ohio State a win in the semifinals was amazing and, 2) Michigan fans were T. H. E. W. O. R. S. T. Seriously. All of the students mingled with one another except for the small army that UM brought. During games, you'd go and sit with the other students based on which team you wanted to win. The smallest legion of "students cheering for another school" was the students in Michigan's section. I've never seen anything like it. During the final – UM vs. Sparty – the student sections were the same size, except Michigan State's section was about half made up of fans of other schools, while Michigan's group was nothing but UM students.
Anyway, Michigan sucks. Here's the depth chart James Franklin released. View it the way you view every depth chart. The big changes: Brent Wilkerson is now the starting tight end, Malik Golden is starting at strong safety, Koa Farmer's your starting kick returner, and Tyler Davis is your starting kicker.
