This week on Out of the Blue, Jared and Andy continue their series breaking down every position group for the 2022 Michigan Wolverines. Next up on the docket, linebackers and the special teams unit.

The boys discuss the lack of depth behind the starters, which players could emerge this season, and the tremendous upside of freshman Jimmy Rolder. What is Junior Colson’s ceiling? How do the responsibilities in Jesse Minter/Mike Macdonald’s defense differ from Don Brown’s?

Lastly, Jared and Andy sing the praises of Special Teams Coordinator Jay Harbaugh and hand out superlatives/project starters for each special teams unit.

Football will be here before you know it and Out of the Blue has the deep dives to tide you over. Enjoy!
