DE/LB Chase Winovich
Winovich, who has gotten the "Dude" label from Don Brown on at least one occasion, has been standing out all spring according to multiple people we've talked with. He's currently slated to play a rush-end/SAM-ish type spot, similar to the one that Jake Ryan played during his junior season with the Wolverines. Speed has always been the strength of Winovich's game, and he's brought the types of element in the flats and in the pass rush that Don Brown will recruit going forward.
CB Channing Stribling
The story on Stribling has been consistent throughout his time in Ann Arbor; he's showed it in flashes but has yet to put it together consistently. So far, so good for the senior cornerback, as he's another player we've been told is having his best practices as a Wolverine. If he can step it up on the other side of Jourdan Lewis, Michigan's defense has a chance to be truly great in 2016.
OL Grant Newsome
This one is an important one as well, as Newsome's play will likely determine where Mason Cole starts the season. If Newsome can become a guy at left tackle, Cole will shift inside and create a potentially smooth transition at the spot after the departure of Graham Glasgow in the middle. If you questioned why the staff put Newsome on the field as a true freshman last season, his ascension so far this spring might provide you your answer. The Wolverines may have found a three-year starter at one of the most important positions on the field.
LB Mike McCray
"The kid is unreal".
That was the quote I was given in talking to someone with intimate knowledge of Michigan's spring practice set earlier this week regarding the redshirt sophomore's play at linebacker this spring. Linebacker has rightly been labeled as Michigan's biggest question mark this season outside of quarterback, but if the hype behind McCray's spring is real, they could be OK at the position.
Standouts McCray stay healthy plz
