Grant Newsome sometimes has to catch himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether he\u2019s in the film room, mid-rep in practice or out on the gridiron, the Michigan offensive line coach often finds himself in need of a reminder that his group is younger than most. Of the Wolverines\u2019 current starting five offensive linemen, three are redshirt freshmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith all three of those guys, you forget they\u2019re redshirt freshmen sometimes, which is a good thing,\u201d Newsome said Wednesday. \u201cBut sometimes, as coach, you have to remind yourself, \u2018Oh shoot, he hasn\u2019t seen that before.\u2019 He hasn\u2019t played four years of football where he\u2019s seen that look before, or knows how to adjust to that on the fly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right tackle Andrew Sprague, right guard Jake Guarnera and left tackle Blake Frazier are the aforementioned fresh faces. While Sprague is the outlier of the bunch \u2014 having earned his starting role immediately after fall camp \u2014 both Guarnera and Frazier are new to the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n
