Michigan's defensive line has, not unexpectedly, lost two key members to the NFL draft as edge rusher Mike Morris, who led the team in sacks and was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year last season, and defensive tackle and co-captain Mazi Smith are preparing for the next step in their careers
Morris made his announcement Monday, the same day Michigan tight end Luke Schoonmaker also said he’s leaving for the NFL, while leading rusher Blake Corum revealed he is returning to Michigan, while ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday reported Smith has declared for the draft.
