Michigan’s secondary is expected to be one of the best in the country this season. The Wolverines return four of five starters from 2022 and transfer Josh Wallace – a four-year starter and team captain at UMass – is expected to fill the only vacancy.
Rod Moore and Mikey Sainristil are All-American contenders and Makari Paige is finally starting to scratch the surface of his limitless potential. But one of the biggest reasons this unit is garnering so much praise and expectation is because sophomore Will Johnson returns on the outside.
Johnson finished last season with 27 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, and three interceptions, and only became a starter in Week 9.
