Harbaugh continues Michigan-roster trolling with NFL-filled 2017 list

Rick Osentoski / USA TODAY Sports

Michigan has finally released its 2017 roster prior to Saturday's massive non-conference opener against Florida ... sort of.

The Wolverines' press notes for the contest include a 2017 roster, but it features only former Michigan players who are now plying their trade in the NFL.

It's the latest move in Harbaugh's plan to keep the roster for this season secret as the Wolverines prepare for the Gators. His refusal to release the details even led to New Jersey Advance Media filing a public records request to try to get the information.

While Michigan is withholding its entire roster, Florida isn't exactly being forthright either, as Gators coach Jim McElwain refuses to name a starting quarterback for the contest.

While there is so much uncertainty heading into the contest, one thing that's probably certain is, despite the fact he's on the roster, Tom Brady won't be under center for the Wolverines in Texas.
