The biggest unknown for Michigan’s football team is when it might play again, but running a close second is how the offensive line might look when the Wolverines do finally have a game.
Michigan had to replace four starters who were all taken in the NFL Draft this past spring and recently, right tackle Jalen Mayfield, the only returning starter, decided to leave college football to prepare for the next draft because of the uncertainty of when the Big Ten might play again. The Big Ten decided Aug. 11 to postpone the season because of lingering concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and that came after a shutdown of on-campus activities, including spring football, in mid-March.
