One thing that has helped Michigan football be such a great defensive team over the past few seasons has been consistently dominant play up front, on the defensive line.
Whether it has been at defensive end or defensive tackle, the Wolverines have turned out plenty of big-time prospects. Some of the names that have gone on to the NFL are Taco Charlton, Ryan Glasgow, Chris Wormley, Maurice Hurst and soon enough, both Chase Winovich and Rashan Gary will join them.
Michigan football has been successful in adding big bodies on defense and did so again in 2019, with the additions of Chris Hinton and Mazi Smith.
