Welcome back to In the Trenches. Today we've got Ben Bredesen, Carlo Kemp, a couple of guys that are in leadership roles as we head through spring practice in 2019 here. We also have some sound from Coach Harbaugh, who spoke to the media on Monday. We'll get to all that here on In the Trenches.

Let's go In the Trenches with John J go in the trenches with John Jansen.

The former Wolverines captain in Michigan Sports Hall of Famer

will take you inside the locker room with players and coaches.

You can just see when everybody is on the same path.

We're all working for the same goal.

Getting more conditioned, getting a little more slim.

Everyone just wants to come out and show

what we've been working on for the last eight weeks.

Once again, here's John Jansen.

Well, before we get to Ben Bredesen and Carlo Kemp, we're going to do a little 7 from 77 with my friend Brian Bush.

And we'll include some of that audio from Coach Harbaugh that we heard yesterday. Brian,

did you get a chance to listen to all that Coach Harbaugh I had to talk about? I did. His optimism

seemed palpable. It seemed like it was there. Now that's probably the case most springs around

this time, but it did feel a little different. It did. And the media actually asked them about that.

You know, you seem to be a little bit more upbeat this time of year.

And I think there's a lot of things that play into that.

One is, I think he's very excited about this freshman class.

We've got eight early enrollees.

He gets a chance to see them.

You know, and the rest of the class will be here this summer.

Plus, we've got some great senior leadership this year.
