Depth chart prediction for Michigan football’s tight ends in 2018

Saying the Michigan Wolverines are loaded at tight end is an understatement.

Heading into the 2017 season, no one knew what to expect at the position. All-American and Mackey Award-winner Jake Butt was gone, leaving behind a ton of uncertainty.

The players I expected to step up — Ian Bunting and Tyrone Wheatley Jr. — obviously did not, combining for four catches for 32 yards.

Instead, a former quarterback (Zach Gentry) and an unknown sophomore (Sean McKeon) stepped up instead — combining for 48 catches for 604 yards and five touchdowns.
