The Chargers have been busy adding new talent to their roster in the past few days. They have drafted two players from head coach Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan team and signed another as an undrafted free agent. One of the recent signings is offensive lineman Karsen Barnhart, who has agreed to terms with the team. During his time at Michigan, Barnhart started in 30 games playing both guard and tackle positions. He will be joining third-round linebacker Junior Colson and seventh-round wide receiver Cornelius Johnson in making the move from Ann Arbor to Los Angeles.
In addition to the Michigan players, the Chargers have also added quarterback Casey Bauman to their depth chart. Bauman had an impressive season at Augustana where he threw for 2,878 yards and 29 touchdowns. The Chargers have also secured deals with several other undrafted free agents including Luke Benson from Georgia Tech, Akeem Dent from Florida State, Jaelen Gill from Fresno State, and Thomas Harper from Notre Dame, among others. This influx of new talent will surely add depth and competition to the Chargers’ roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
