  While Jim Harbaugh has said that returners Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum are set to receive a bulk of the carries at running back this fall, they could have some company in the season opener against Western Michigan. Michigan's true-freshman running back Donovan Edwards impressed coaches in the spring with his work ethic and talent, so much so that he's worked his way into the depth chart and will be part of the playing rotation on Sept. 4. Last month at Big Ten Media Days, Harbaugh told reporters that "you'll be seeing Donovan Edwards Game 1? - a statement backed up Thursday by Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis. "Donovan will play Week 1," Gattis told reporters on Thursday. "That's no secret in this building, the type of talent that he is." Gattis described the 6-foot, 202-pound Edwards as "one of the most competitive people that you'll ever meet," complimenting the West Bloomfield, Mich., native's ability to complete a quick turnaround from high school to college.

Edwards played for a state championship in football in late-January, then made the transition to Michigan and the start of spring ball in late-February. And despite enrolling early and having to compete against a pair of scholarship backs with experience, Edwards learned the offense quickly and held his own, Gattis said. Every major recruiting service listed Edwards as a four-star recruit and top-100 prospect nationally coming out of high school, suggesting that a fast-tracked start to college was possible. - Ann Arbor News
