Michigan had two of the best edge-rushers in college football last season, and now both of them (Aidan Hutchinson, David Ojabo) are in the NFL. It’ll be hard to replace their production, but Jaylen Harrell is one of the players Michigan will be relying on.
The story so far
Harrell was a 2020 four-star prospect out of Tampa, Florida and was a candidate for the High School Butkus Award in 2019. During Harrell’s junior and senior years, he had a penchant for getting into the backfield with 31 tackles for loss and eight sacks.
Harrell was a special teams contributor during the shortened 2020 season, but it was last season where his strength and quickness were on display.
