Ann Arbor — Michigan freshman safety Daxton Hill is ready for more playing time, that much is clear.
Just ask Rutgers’ Avery Young, who was drilled by Hill on a punt return last Saturday. Hill finished with four tackles and was in on a tackle for loss.
There is, however, a process for freshman players, the preference being to bring them along slowly to make sure they have a firm grasp of their jobs. Hill, a five-star recruit and the jewel of this class, appears to be on the verge of more playing time as Michigan prepares to face Iowa on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
