Summary

Combining a couple of questions we got about Michigan’s defense and utilizing Shaw’s in-depth offseason question series at each position group, we break down Michigan’s starters, reserve players and overall outlook at each defensive position. In doing so, we highlight some freshmen who could see significant snaps in year one, players who could bounce back from injuries, potential All-Big Ten and All-American players and that advanced stats that support that claim, positional battles to keep an eye on as well as returning starters who could step up. Additionally, the two break down overrated and underrated players on the team, sleeper picks for the 2018 season and changes in the 2019 recruiting rankings relevant to Michigan.
