For the last several seasons, the Michigan Wolverines have made speed edge rushers a priority in recruiting, with those efforts showing up on the field on Saturdays. Since Mike Elston was hired this offseason as the defensive line coach, he has continued that focus by targeting numerous prospects who have the ability to get after quarterbacks.
Now Elston has a scheme to work with in light of the hiring of new defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, whose scheme could look very similar to former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald’s. Elston and company will surely be looking to get prospects to Ann Arbor who would be a good fit as Wolverines, with one three-star who is committed to Louisville recently saying he is planning on visiting campus soon.
