From 2006-2016, Central Michigan started 8, 10, 15, 13, 11, 11, 14, 14 and 15 whites, with no write-up on them done in 2013. For the first time in over a decade it appears they are dropping below double digit white starters as they are projected to start 9.

Shane Morris the former big time Michigan recruit has transferred to CMU to play out his eligibility. Concussions have really put a damper on his disappointing collegiate career. Monster RS Fr Tony Poljan is the other QB who made start some games this year - he is 6-7 225lbs, kind of hoping he takes the starting job - perhaps we will witness another Big Ben in a few years.

Other players to watch out for include: TE Logan Hessbrook, DE Mitch Stanitzek, DT Michael Steinhauer, LB Trevor Apsey, LB Alex Briones, DB Zach Oakley DB Gage Kreski

Offense
QB - Shane Morris or Tony Poljan
FB - Trevor Thomas (when they use one)
TE - Tyler Conklin
C - Austin Doan
RG - Kenny Rogers
RT - Derek Edwards

Defense
DE - Joe Ostman
DT - Chris Kantzavelos
LB - Jeff Perry

Their 2018 class is unfortunately dark, including a black quarterback, so it looks like they are trending the wrong way.

I am just hoping Poljan becomes a big time QB for them. I would rather CMU go with him rather than Morris.

Updated from Deadlift:


Not counting the fullback, it looks like they currently start 10 Whites.


LG - Steve Eipper
C - J.P. Quinn
RG - Logan Slaughter
RT - Derek Edwards
TE - Logan Hessbrook
QB - Shane Morris

Defense:

DE - Mitch Stanitzek
DT - Chris Kantzavelos
DE - Joe Ostman
LB - Alex Briones

Not counting the OL backups, the backups are QB Tony Poljan, TE Zach Crouch, NT Michael Steinhauer, LBs Trevor Apsey and Jeff Perry, and safety *Zach Oakley - not on the two deep, but played against Kansas and registered an INT.
