Michigan’s 2023 season demonstrated some of the best (if not the best) defensive play we’ve seen in college football in recent memory. A big reason for this was the play of Michigan’s secondary stifling opponents’ passing attack. On the back end, Michigan received stellar play from its group of safeties, a rotation of primarily Rod Moore, Makari Paige, Keon Sabb and Quinten Johnson.
After the mass exodus of Wolverines for the 2024 NFL Draft, it actually looked as if the safety group was going to stay largely in tact with Moore and Paige announcing their plans for the 2024 season.
