Just yesterday I said it has been a bad month for the
Wolverines. Well, it managed to get even worse less than 24 hours later.
This news came from Michigan Insider, Sam Webb, on his
Twitter account (@SamWebb77):
Rumors of Chris
Wormley's ACL tear are unfortunately true. The #Michigan freshman
DE will obviously miss the season as a result
Wormley is just a true freshman and his role with the team this season was uncertain, but he had the potential to make the regular season roster and provide depth at the position.
With fellow end, Frank Clark, already serving a suspension
that could run into the regular season, Michigan
has some serious depth issues at defensive end.
The Wolverines have eight ends listed on the current roster.
With two currently not available, it could impact the potential redshirts for other true freshmen.
Wormley will clearly get a redshirt season with the injury, which still gives
him four full seasons with Michigan ,
but the Wolverines have three other true freshmen at end to make decisions on.
With just one senior in the group and the rest sophomores or
freshmen, the defensive end position has to be a concern for the coaching staff
with Alabama
looming.
One thing you need against a team like the Crimson Tide is
strong play on the defensive front. To get that, you need experience and depth.
Right now, Michigan
has neither at the end positions.
