While safety Tyree Kinnel burned his redshirt by playing special teams against Maryland, several other true freshman are ‘close’ to seeing the field, according to Jim Harbaugh.
Reuben Jones, Shelton Johnson, Karan Higdon and Keith Washington are all "close" to being able to contribute.

"Nobody is a freshman anymore," Harbaugh says in reference to being five games through season, seeing more FR on field this year.

Harbaugh: Kinnel was screaming 'get me on the field.' Not in the vocal way, in the best way: on the practice field.

Michigan scrimmages every week with younger guys to give them a chance to prove themselves and earn PT.

Harbaugh: Monday race last week and Tyree was first, winning the race to take position on kickoff team spot. Noah Furbush fast also.
