Karsen Barnhart’s road to Michigan, outlook for 2021

The Michigan Wolverines’ offensive line was decimated with injuries in a 2020 season that was one to forget. In the stead of Ryan Hayes at the left tackle spot, Karsen Barnhart earned some valuable minutes last season as a redshirt freshman. Let’s take a look at how we got here with Barnhart and how much we will see of him this fall.

The story so far

Barnhart had a really interesting recruiting process because many debated where he belonged on the front-five. He actually played tight end in high school. The 6-foot-4, 282-pounder was destined for a move to the interior.
