Michigan Wolverines linebacker Jaishawn Barham is reportedly leaning towards returning to Ann Arbor for one more season, but not to play linebacker.
Instead, Barham could go the route that Abdul Carter went for Penn State and switch from linebacker to edge rusher. Barham is a quick-twitch athlete that is regarded as the hardest-hitting tackler on the team, and moving to the edge could be exactly what he needs to eventually reach his full potential.
The position change could be beneficial for Barham and the defense because it would allow him to attack the quarterback and create mismatches against opposing offensive linemen, using his impressive blend of physicality and speed.
