ESPN names Michigan’s ‘newcomer to watch’ prior to the start of spring practice
Published:
ESPN previewed spring practice for every Big Ten team on Wednesday.
That includes Michigan, who is expected to contend for the Big Ten title again this upcoming season. ESPN analysts picked a “newcomer to watch” for the Wolverines ahead of spring ball.
Their pick is true freshman running back Cole Cabana. Although Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards are returning, Cabana is talented enough to earn some early playing time in 2023.
Here’s the analysis from ESPN’s Blake Baumgartner:
ESPN 300 running back Cole Cabana (No. 116 overall) could certainly factor into the competition behind Corum and Edwards. Cabana, who had 1,518 yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior for Dexter (Michigan) High School, is the Wolverines’ third ESPN 300 running back over the past four recruiting cycles.
Cabana was a 4-star prospect in the class of 2023. He was the No. 10 running back in the country, according to 247Sports Composite rankings.
Michigan’s spring game is scheduled for Saturday, April 1.
