After watching a Michigan practice recently, Big Ten Network’s Tom Dienhart tabbed sophomore tailback Chris Evans to be the most impressive Wolverine:
Most impressive player: RB Chris Evans. The sophomore back from Indianapolis is built as well as any ball carrier in the Big Ten. And watch him explode from his stance. He can deliver a blow through the hole and run around end. He may be in-line to be Michigan’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Fitz Toussaint in 2014. Evans looked good today.
Karan Higdon and Ty Isaac are also expected to split time in the backfield for the Wolverines in 2017. Kareem Walker could see time as well.
