SOURCES: Jeff Persi set to start at LT for Michigan against Rutgers

Michigan will have a new face starting on the offensive line against Rutgers on Saturday. Multiple sources have confirmed with Maize & Blue Review that offensive lineman Jeff Persi will be starting at left tackle for the Wolverines.

Lineman Ryan Hayes did not make the trip with sources telling M&BR that he is 'banged up' and wouldn't be available.

Saturday's game is a big opportunity for Persi, who has played on special teams and spot duties during his two years of playing time.

It'll be the first start of his career.
