Anthony Solomon entering the transfer portal got me thinking about hybrid defensive players. Solomon and Mohan were under recruited for Michigan's purposes when Don Brown was running the defense because he had a position (viper) that was essentially an undersized linebacker who didn't have to be great in coverage.

Georgia’s offense like throwing to the TE and RB so if Michigan can put them i...

Sleeper from Belleville. That’s literally all I knew about the Michigan linebacker when he suddenly became a top target. He visited with the rest of the Victors Weekend contingent and pledged the night of Juneteenth. That occurred with little fanfare, outside of a pocket of people extremely excited for the end of the bad old days of Michigan feuding with former Tom Wilcher assistant Jermain Crowell. This is the guy who built Belleville into one of the biggest suburban Detroit powers right on the doorstep of Ann Arbor, and then built a fence between us.
