Mike Danna grew up in metro Detroit, attended Warren De La Salle and had always dreamed of playing football for Michigan.
But after suffering a broken leg early in his senior season, he fell off the recruiting radar as teams lost interest. Except Central Michigan. Danna, a defensive end, was a first team All-Mid-American conference defense selection after his performance with the Chippewas last fall. He finished with 65 tackles, including 14 for loss and 8.5 sacks. He also had two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.
After graduating from CMU in May with a degree in entrepreneurship, Danna will relocate to Ann Arbor.
