Jim Harbaugh says Michigan’s looking into using QB Dan Villari in Taysom Hill type role

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh spoke with Jon Jansen on the In the Trenches Podcast about a variety of topics on an episode released Thursday morning. One of those topics was the quarterback position.

Harbaugh said Cade McNamara had a great spring, is very confident, knows the system inside and out, is a sponge for knowledge. Harbaugh said that five-star freshman J.J. McCarthy was terrific and got himself all the way up to number two on the depth chart.

Then there’s Dan Villari, someone who hasn’t seen the field yet for Michigan but someone who’s been described as very athletic and a dual-threat QB.
