Michigan Football Friday: Getting Close to the Finish Line

We are just over a week away from college football opening weekend. The University of Michigan football team is starting to fill out the depth chart on who is going to be where.

Kelvin Grady (former point guard) is listed as the No. 2 slot WR behind Odoms. Beating out Roy Roundtree and Terrance Robinson. I think Roundtree is a better fit at outside WR, but that's just me.

It seems Terrance Robinson has separated himself in the punt return game.

Former MSU football player Kyle Rasmussen is joining the WWE to start a new career as a professional wrestler.

Thursday was the final two a days before Michigan's first game next Saturday.

Michael Shaw continued to preform well in practice on Thursday with a pair of touchdowns, a 22 yard run and a 45-yard pass from Tate.

Odoms had a 50 yard return on a kickoff and 14 yard touchdown catch from Denard.

What have seemed to been missing from these practice posts are good news from the defense. Well today is a new day: The defense held twice on the 90 second drill from the home 40-yard line, but the offense scored twice as well.

The defense also got a turnover from a big hit by linebacker LB Fitzgerald.

Dex Jones a linebacker from the Wisconsin Badgers has transferred to Western Michigan and will have to sit out a year.

Ben Axon, a former South Carolina commit, has transferred to Eastern Michigan. Ben was pulled over in May and was charged with a misdemeanor for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Ben will now try "to right his ship" under Ron English.

Adrian Arrington, after being out most of the year last year due to an injury, has been impressive at Saints camp this summer.
