Here are your starting white Wolverines for coach Brady Hoke in his 2nd year at the helm of Michigan. I think Hoke is still dealing with Rich Rod's recruits here on the offensive side of the ball, so the jury is still out on whether Hoke will be white friendly at Michigan or not. Rich Rod recruited both of the black QBs, but Hoke has two white QBs in Russell Bellomy and incoming QB Shane Morris.
Since '05, Michigan has started 8, 7, 8, 9, 8, 9, and 9 whites. Look for their average of 8 whites starting this year. Gotta love that white defense though, even if the offense will be unwatchable. The way it looks, there will be no whites on offense touching the ball on a regular basis; even the center is black. I'm hoping Hoke will at least get back to the "traditional" segregated offense of white QB, FB, TE, and OL at Michigan, and maybe even, God forbid, recruit a white skill player.
Reserve white Wolverines to watch for are QB Russell Bellomy, FB Joe Kerridge, WR Drew Dileo, TE Mike Kwiatkowski, LT Ben Braden, C Jack Miller, RG/LG Erik Magnuson, RT Elliot Mealer, DT/DE Nathan Brink, DE/DT Chris Rock and MLB Joe Bolden.
Offense
LT- Taylor Lewan (potential 1st round draft choice)
LG- Joey Burzynski or Kyle Kalis
RT- Michael Schofield
Defense
DE- Brennan Beyer
DE- Craig Roh
SLB- Jake Ryan
MLB- Desmond Morgan
SS- Jordan Kovacs
