'Surging' Donovan Jeter working toward larger role on Michigan defensive line

Donovan Jeter’s career at Michigan began with the early enrollee missing his freshman year in 2017 after surgery pushed him to the sideline.

The next two seasons, Jeter saw some playing time on the defensive line but in a backup role, playing here and there in 2018 and in 10 games last season.

Now, as the Wolverines prepare for their season opener Oct. 24 at Minnesota to kick off the abbreviated nine-game season, Jeter has been described by coaches as a player who has readjusted his mindset and goals, and the results have been turning heads in practices.
