‘Difference-maker’ Daxton Hill could make immediate impact at Michigan, analyst says

Daxton Hill was the gem of Michigan’s 2019 recruiting class – one of two five-stars in the 26-player haul and the No. 1-ranked safety in the nation.

And one prominent college football analyst, ESPN’s Tom Luginbill, believes Hill (6-0, 190 pounds) will be one of 11 freshmen who could make an immediate impact on their teams this fall.

Luginbill’s analysis (pay site) also included Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz, Ohio State WR Garrett Wilson and Purdue DE George Karlaftis.

Luginbill on Hill: “The Wolverines must replace multiple game-changers on the defensive side of the ball, including DE Chase Winovich, DE Rashan Gary and LB Devin Bush.
