For the past two seasons, Zeke Berry has remained hidden in the shadows, buried in the Michigan football team’s depth chart. With Mike Sainristil locking down the nickel position and Rod Moore and Makari Paige locking in the starting safety roles, there wasn’t much room for Berry.
But Sainristil is now in the NFL and Moore went down with an ACL injury in the spring, potentially ending his season before it even started. Finally, Berry has the room he needs to hit the field. And despite his limited playing experience, his coaches and teammates have full faith in his abilities to step up.
