Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz continue their annual position group preview series, taking a look at the Michigan football team's cornerback room.

They open with a look at the room’s biggest strengths, including the high level of athleticism and energy that the room possesses in its starting lineup, two-deep and beyond. They discuss the room’s recruiting wins over the years, and the high talent level in the room. 

They then turn to the question marks of the room, including the consistency of Jyaire Hill and Zeke Berry, and the potential X-factor that Jo’Ziah Edmond could bring. They continue by looking at the position battle for the No. 3 cornerback role, pick breakout players and make predictions for the room this fall.
