I think the 'Phonebook' is here
Looks like the 2021 roster. Not sure if these are new weights.

It's definitely been updated recently since Alan Bowman is on there with an updated picture. Villari's weight is also different from the 2020 version but I'm not sure if it was updated in the spring.
If his weight goes up, it’s muscle. If his weight goes down, it’s getting lean for speed and agility. It didn’t stay the same but that would also be good because he added muscle to replace the fat.
I live in the same apartment complex as this dude. Believe me when I say that he fits the comparison that Harbaugh makes, at least from a physical standpoint. I would love to see him in practice.
JJ McCarthy now up to 6'3, ...whole milk, steak & eggs growth spurt....
6'3" was already his listed height on 247. 6'2" on Rivals.
No chicken
It's a nervous bird.
Mazi only 326 lbs. I'm worried about how he'll hold up against 327 lb guards.
It’s good weight gain, he’s stronger.
I literally just checked an hour ago and it wasn't up then. Good catch!
I'm getting Cyril Figgis vibes from RJ Motens mugshot.
Honigford lost a ton of weight and is a TE now.
Did we expect Ike Iwunnah to be that big at this point? He's 306 pounds right now.
Yes. I'm more concerned that Jenkins is still a long way from 300.
Unfortunately, Don Brown's Build-a-Bear prospects look much closer to dropping weight and becoming linebackers than growing into defensive linemen. Jaylen Harrell and Kris Jenkins are, respectively, 6'4" 242 lb and 6'3" 265 lb sophomores.
Harrell was DE all the way and (if he hits) will be ideally suited as an EDGE DE/LB hybrid in the new scheme. Jenkins on the other hand is a DL all the way and would be a real disappointment if he hasn't put on any weight. Having said that, his measurables are identical to his freshman year which at least leaves some faint hope that maybe it just wasn't updated.
That actually makes me feel better. The current roster just listed him as a DL, which seems to be the designation for interior defensive linemen. I thought that was an odd position for someone of his size, weight, and class and totally forgot to check his recruiting profile.

No he's not. He's a OLB and right now not even the OLB/DE hybrid that Aidan Hutchinson plays.
I wouldn't be so concerned with Harrell. He's playing a similar position to Uche and I believe Uche topped out somewhere in the 250s. Jenkins still being in the mid 200s is definitely an issue. He still has time to fix it though, just not soon enough before the coming season.
Harrell was a Uche type, not a build-a-DT. Jenkins, Welschof and Mike Morris were the build a DT
I don't know what we expected him to weigh, but we certainly did not expect such a strong murderface game. I do not know how his playstyle will compare, but his picture alone matches Ben Mason's attitude.
Quick Hitter: Interesting weights:
McBurrows 197, Dunlap 222, Barrett 227, Velazquez 228, Honigford 257!! (actual TE now), Baldwin 219,
Yeah I didn't realize Mcburrows was that big
Gio El-Hadi is now 6'5" 318 after being listed at 6'4" 275 as a recruit. El-Hadi is the highest rated OL on the roster as well. There's a lot of talent to compete with, but will we see him challenge for a two deep spot?
No way. Hayes already has one tackle spot locked up and there is too much competition for the second
I don't think you know what "two deep" means.

I saw him at the gym a few times over the summer. Big guy but seemed to be spending more time hanging out with his buddies than working out. I'm sure that changed when he got on campus.
I dunno -- I just like this roster.
Go Blue.
Me too, especially on offense.
Chris Hinton's old man game is so strong!
Jeter and Mazi both 320+ makes me feel a bit better about the nose position. Jeter was listed just shy last year and Mazi was at 305. I’ll just go with the “all weight gain is good weight gain” thought here.
Also, Honigford lost a LOT of weight after being listed at 305 last year
There’s been about 5 articles posted in the last week stating that Mazi is now a beast. So must be good weight gain.
Makes me feel better about Kemp not coming back.
It is amazing to me, that despite my devotion to M-Go-Blog, there are so many kids I have never, ever heard of. It just goes to show what big operation the football team is.That and they really seem to like walk-ons from Connecticut.
Somebody with more musical talent than I needs to write the Michigan football version of "Van Lingle Mungo". That would be a fascinating trip down memory lane indeed.
For those who might have no idea what you're talking about, here's the song.
There's another version of the song.

Perhaps you also could find some musically talented MGoBlogger who'd be able to write the Michigan Wolverines Football version of The Elements Song.
Benny wearing number 26 as a DL is kind of funny.
Benny came in at a good weight too. Could see the field this year at bit since he’s pushing 300
Speaking of DL, I'm going to go on believing that Seldon gave up #0 to help land Walter "Big Zero" Nolen.
36 is an underrated db number.

Honigford…wow. How much weight did he lose like 35lbs. I had to check the year to see if his little brother walked on.
Where's my man Sammy Faustin?

We are a young, young team (free Covid year helps that of course in some manner). With that, I think we could be pretty good (2015 level good) this year, and 2016 level good next year.
