The Michigan Football depth chart according to Jim Harbaugh

It has been a long time since Jim Harbaugh revealed the Michigan football depth chart prior to the start of Week 1 (since 2016 to be exact) so when Harbaugh ran through all the starters and backups the other day, it was a shock to everyone.

We already know how the QB battle will be decided between Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy, with a showcase in Week 1 and 2, and so technically the QB spot is still open, and so that will be decided soon.

There are a few other uncertainties surrounding starting positions, but 95% of the roster is set.

Now, for the official depth chart according to what Jim Harbaugh said on the “In the Trenches” Podcast with Jon Jansen.
