The Michigan Wolverines have had plenty of success along the defensive line over the years. We tend to think of the edge rushers as the players along the defensive line who make all the big plays and make the most money in the NFL. While that is mostly accurate — although Aaron Donald has a word — one of the most unheralded, yet important positions in a defense like Michigan’s is defensive tackle, and more specifically, nose tackle.
There aren’t too many of them on Michigan’s current roster, but one addition who could make a big impact is true freshman Kenneth Grant.
