Michigan Wolverines linebacker Michael Barrett announced on social media he will be returning for the 2023 season. This is huge news for the Wolverines, and the second big news of the day as right guard Zak Zinter announced he was coming back earlier today as well.
Barrett had 37 tackles on the season, along with 3.5 sacks and two interceptions. Barrett coming back gives the Wolverine defense a big boost at the linebacker position heading into the next season.
Michigan has had pretty good luck with upperclassmen deciding to come back for another season, but Barrett is the first notable upperclassmen on the defensive side to announce his return.
