Who has absorbed his reps at flanker?

“Obviously I think Devin falls into that a little bit," coach Brady Hoke said, referring to quarterback/receiver Devin Gardner. "I think we’re liking when he goes out there and liking when he’s taking snaps under center. Devin’s an athlete."

Michigan football wide receiver Jerald Robinson, of course, is no different.

The redshirt sophomore is aware of how many career catches he has to this point in his career (zero), and he's aware that people have targeted Michigan's receiving group as one of the team's thinnest positions.

Michigan WR Jerald Robinson delays hearing on destruction of property charge for second time

Michigan football sophomore receiver Jerald Robinson, facing a malicious destruction of property charge, has delayed his pretrial hearing for a second time.

Robinson is accused of destroying a parking gate Feb. 4, with the damage totaling between $200 and $1,000. Douglas E. Lewis, Robinson's attorney, requested the hearing be moved to June 25 as he tries to locate a videotape.

Michigan football team could alter philosophy of passing game after Junior Hemingway's departure

Junior Hemingway made one of his signature "jump ball" receptions for a touchdown against Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. Hemingway is now a Kansas City Chief, forcing offensive coordinator Al Borges to reconsider the approach.

The Michigan football team loses only six starters from last season, making it one of the more veteran teams in the Big Ten.

But it might take just one loss to reshape the Wolverines' passing game philosophy.

Junior Hemingway was Michigan's most reliable receiver last season, especially downfield. He often played bigger than his 6-foot-1 frame, as he developed a knack for snaring the ball at its highest point.

His proclivity for jump balls helped bail out quarterback Denard Robinson when he was under duress or not accurate, and finished third in the country in yards per catch (20.6).

And now, Hemingway is a Kansas City Chief. What does that mean?

"Maybe next year, we don't throw a bunch of jump balls," offensive coordinator Al Borges said Friday. "You kind of have to play to what you got."

It took one series Saturday for the injury bug to strike the Michigan football team.

Sophomore linebacker Desmond Morgan limped off the field following the first possession of the club's controlled scrimmage portion of the annual spring game at Michigan Stadium.

Morgan spent the remainder of the afternoon on the bench, with his right leg propped up.

"He got hit," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said, declining to go into further detail of the injury.

5 new names to watch at Michigan football team's spring game

At this time last year, Jake Ryan's resume went something like this: Redshirt freshman linebacker; so-so recruit; didn't start until he was a high school senior.

He was nothing more than a blip on the Michigan football team's 100-something man roster. After the spring game, he was anything but.

Ryan posted perhaps the biggest highlight of that game — a pick-six of backup quarterback Devin Gardner — and showcased the kind of sideline-to-sideline tenacity for which he has become known.

He carried that momentum into the fall, eventually earned the job at strong-side linebacker and started every game. He finished with 11 tackles for loss, second on the team, and recovered two fumbles.

This year's spring game will kick off at noon Saturday at Michigan Stadium (Big Ten Network). Who will be this year's breakout player?

As Michigan receivers erase 'carnival of missed assignments,' Jerald Robinson stands out among them

In the Michigan football team's continued search for a third wide receiver, one name is mentioned more than any other.

Jerald Robinson.

The sophomore has appeared in only two career games, and has yet to record a catch. But whenever the topic of who will play alongside Roy Roundtree and Jeremy Gallon is broached, it is Robinson whose praise has been most effusive.

Consider this from offensive coordinator Al Borges, on who has stepped up this spring: "The same cast of characters, you know, save Jerald Robinson, who’s really proven some toughness because he’s been a little banged up, but he’s not bad. He’s done a very nice job. I’ve been happy with Jerald."
