Maurice Hurst was an absolute wrecking ball on the Michigan Wolverines’ defensive line from 2015 to 2017. He put up overall grades of 85.0 or higher as a run defender and as a pass rusher in all three seasons, culminating in a 2017 season where he graded out at 95.0 as a run defender and 91.0 as a pass rusher. In fact, if you look at the highest-graded interior defenders in the FBS since PFF began charting the collegiate ranks, it’s Hurst who comes out on top.
