ANN ARBOR, Mich. — It was only six years ago that Grant Newsome was in a battle with Ben Bredeson for the starting left tackle spot. Now, he’s overseeing Michigan’s tight ends in his first year as the team’s on-field coach at that position.
The Wolverines made some shifts in the coaching staff after some expected and unexpected departures, moving last year’s tight ends coach Jay Harbaugh to safeties, safeties coach Ron Bellamy to wide receivers, and promoting grad assistant Newsome to the full-time tight ends coach.
Speaking with the media for the first time in his capacity as a coach, Newsome shared what the process has been like, what he’s seen from his group, what’s made Erick All such a special player, how the younger tight ends are coming along, and much more.
Here is everything he had to say.
