Who will handle left tackle?

This Michigan football team doesn’t have many question marks from a roster perspective and left tackle is one where we don’t know the starter right now.

LaDarius Henderson is the projected starter I guess. He just joined the team after finishing up some classes at Arizona State. He’s started lots of games and he’s got an NFL future. But will hebe as good as Ryan Hayes?

That we don’t know. Karsen Barnhart and Trente Jones are also in the mix. Barnhart is likely going to start at right tackle with Jones maybe as the swing tackle.

It’s a luxury really because most Big Ten teams would kill to have Jones starting at either tackle position. But if this crew is going to win the Joe Moore Award, they need a viable replacement for Hayes.

I believe the Wolverines have it, but it’s one question that lingers as fall camp approaches.
