With Michigan’s top two options at the edge position (Braiden McGregor, Jaylen Harrell) heading to the NFL, Michigan will lean heavily on two players who were part of the pass-rush rotation a season ago in Josaiah Stewart and Derrick Moore. However, more players will have to step up and be contributors at edge-rusher if Michigan is to pressure the quarterback consistently.

Josaiah Stewart
Stewart joined the Wolverines last season after spending two seasons at Coastal Carolina. Stewart tallied 16 sacks, 25.5 tackles for loss, and four forced fumbles for the Chanticleers.
