No matter what position he plays, Will Campbell will probably be the largest in the bunch.

Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez said during Monday’s press conference that the 333-pound sophomore defensive lineman worked on the offensive side of the ball last week and will continue to do so the first couple of days this week, “to see if it sticks.”

Rodriguez alluded to the possibility of Campbell moving to the offensive line last Thursday during his weekly radio show.

Rodriguez said redshirt freshman offensive lineman Quinton Washington also changed positions for the time being, switching over to defense.

Campbell had previously approached him and the coaching staff about the potential move and it was decided that the bye week would be a good time to test it out.

Rodriguez warned that just a handful of practices weren’t enough to accurately grade how the changes have panned out so far.

Still, fifth-year senior offensive guard Steve Schilling has high hopes for both Campbell and Washington, who isn’t so small himself at 6-foot-4, 315 pounds.

“It was fun to get to see them play on the other side of the ball,” Schilling said. “I always thought (Campbell) played D-line like an offensive lineman. He liked to finish us in practice sometimes instead of making tackles. … Obviously he hasn’t played it since high school — it’s been a few years. But he can be a really, really good offensive lineman. He’s athletic, he’s big, he’s strong and when he learns what he’s doing, I definitely think he’s going to have some success.

“Quinton, if he gets a head of steam running at you and hitting you, it's going to hurt. So for him being on defense, I’m pretty excited to see what he can do against another team if he’s running out there and tackling some guys.”

Schilling said he thought both changes could end up being for the better. Campbell, a former five-star recruit, struggled to see playing time on the defensive line outside of particular goal line situations and special teams. And Washington was stuck behind two entrenched starters at guard in redshirt sophomore Patrick Omameh and Schilling.

Rodriguez said he thinks Campbell has potential.

"We were really simple last week and his head will still be spinning for a while," Rodriguez said. "But I think he'll be a natural there at guard just based on a couple of days."

ROBINSON IS READY: Sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson said Monday that he is feeling 100 percent after leaving Michigan’s 38-28 loss to Iowa early in the third quarter with a shoulder injury.

To rehabilitate, he received treatment for the shoulder “almost every day.” Robinson, though, still participated in practice last week.

“I hate sitting out,” Robinson said. “I hate watching my teammates practice and me not being a part of it. But I guess you try to get better and you shouldn’t rush anything. Take care of your body first and everything else will fall in place.”

During Monday’s press conference, Robinson didn’t attribute either of the interceptions he threw against Iowa to his shoulder injury, saying he just needed to make better decisions with the ball.

As for his rushing numbers, Robinson hasn't been racking up the yardage like he did earlier in the season against the likes of Indiana and Notre Dame, but he said it wasn’t due to his lingering knee injury.

“I just made some bad reads and hesitated a little bit and it kind of messed me up,” Robinson said.

His 86 yards against Michigan State was a season-low and his 105 yards against the Hawkeyes was his third-lowest total. But his 1,096 total rushing yards still leads the country.

INJURY UPDATE: Other banged up Wolverines include junior defensive tackle Mike Martin, redshirt junior center David Molk and junior running back Michael Shaw. All were “very limited” in practice last week, but Rodriguez expected the trio to be able to go this week in practice. All three should be able to play on Saturday against the Nittany Lions.

Redshirt freshman running back Fitzgerald Toussaint also is expected to return from his nagging knee injury.
