G/C: Ben Bredeson, Kyle Kalis, David Molk

Bredeson (2016-present): 33 starts at RG

Starting eight games as a freshman in 2016, Bredeson received honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition. He has continued this success ever since.

Starting all 26 games over the last two seasons, the Hartland, WI native has garnered back-to-back All-Big Ten second-team selections from both the coaches and the media.

Locking up his spot on this list with a year of eligibility remaining, Bredeson will be a leader for offensive line coach Ed Warinner on the 2019 team.

Kalis (2013-16): 43 starts at RG

The son of eight-year NFL veteran Todd Kalis, Kyle was a four-year letterman for the Wolverines.

He made his first start in 2013 and started all 26 games over his final two years in Ann Arbor. After receiving third-team All-Big Ten honors from the media and honorable mention from the coaches, Kalis upped to the ante to a second-team selection as a senior.

Kalis signed with the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and is now entering his second season with the Cleveland Browns.

Molk (2008-11): 41 starts at C

Making his Michigan debut in the first game of the Rich Rodriguez era vs. Utah on August 30, 2008, Molk established himself as a team leader from day one.

As the best all-around conditioned player among lineman, he received the Iron Wolverine Award as a freshman. While 2009 was an injury-plagued season for the Lemont, IL native, he was still a candidate for both the Lombardi Award and the Rimington Trophy.

2010 was when Molk became one of the best interior linemen in the Big Ten. Starting all 13 games, he was named All-Big Ten first-team by the coaches.

2011 was even better. Elected one of the team captains by his teammates in fall camp, Molk was again a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and was a consensus first-team All-American.
