With the addition of blue-chip 4-stars Makari Paige and RJ Moten in the past week, Michigan now boasts a trio of highly-rated safeties in the 2020 class. When you throw in 4-star Jordan Morant and 3-star William Mohan, along with Michigan’s targets still on the board, questions pop up on which position each player will slot into once they reach campus.
There are an abundance of roles in the back seven these prospects could play, whether it be free safety, rover, nickel or Viper. There’s even been talk this offseason of Don Brown having two Vipers on the field at once, which could explain why Michigan is taking so many players in that mold.
