Michigan Football Scholarship Update

Scholarship Summary as of October 4, 2009

If my math is correct, 16 OL, 8 RB, 4 QB, 14 WR=42 offense; 10 DL, 9 LB and 10 DB=29 Defense. 42+29=71+3 specialists (placekicker/punter)=74. This means we have about 16+9=25 scholarships for February, 2010 with as many as 6 possibilities for not returning; therefore, we may have as many as 29 scholarships to offer prospects for February, 2010 plus 3 oversignees for enrollment in January, 2011. The chances are we will only have "teens" to offer unless we have players leave the team for various reasons. We already have 18 verbal commitments for 2010 so this leaves us with 7-13 scholarships available depending on transfers, quitters, behavior issues, injuries, etc.
