Michael Barrett is poised to become Don Brown’s next menace off the edge to fill a void left by Khaleke Hudson at viper for Michigan football.

By working his way up Michigan football‘s depth chart, it’s Michael Barrett’s turn on the totem pole to occupy the viper role.

The two-time letter winner flashed signs on special teams, including successful fake punt attempts that converted into first downs last season. Throw in his interception at last year’s spring outing and it’s clear to see the youngster has playmaking potential written all over him.
