  Michigan's football team closed spring practice with three starters determined along its offensive line. The Wolverines now enter the summer looking for two more - as competition brews to figure out who will protect the quarterback this fall. At least, that's the word from head coach Jim Harbaugh, who appeared on the "In the Trenches" podcast last week. "There's just a battle going on to get to the five best," Harbaugh told host Jon Jansen. "And that's going to continue post-spring. It's going on now, it's going to continue through the summer and also into fall camp." Here's what Michigan knows: Fifth-year senior Andrew Stueber, junior Ryan Hayes and sophomore Zak Zinter have all showed enough (and have the experience) to lock down starting roles Hayes at tackle, Harbaugh says, while Zinter and Stueber are flexible.

"Very good players," Harbaugh said to describe all three. "They put an exclamation mark on that in spring. I'd call them three solid starters in the top five." Stueber spent most of the spring lining up at right tackle, a position he's familiar with having played it before. The 6-foot-6, 339-pound Connecticut native can also line up at guard. Meanwhile, Harbaugh feels that the 6-foot-6, 334-pound Zinter can fill in at either guard or center. Zinter started four games at right guard in 2020, suggesting that might be his preferred spot. "There gives you all the flexibility you need," Harbaugh said. "To get you to the best five, it could be a guard, it could be a tackle." - Ann Arbor News
