Michael Onwenu has always flashed glimpses of becoming a dominating player.

This year, he seems to have put it all together.

Onwenu, Michigan football's senior right guard, was named to ESPN's midseason All-American team Thursday. It was his second such honor of the week; Pro Football Focus named Onwenu a midseason All-American.

According to PFF, Onwenu has allowed six total pressures on 225 pass-blocking snaps, while serving as a key part in the run game.
