Michigan's defensive line has, not unexpectedly, lost two key members to the NFL draft as edge rusher Mike Morris, who led the team in sacks and was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year last season, and defensive tackle and co-captain Mazi Smi th are preparing for the next step in their careers. Morris made his announcement Monday, the same day Michigan tight end Luke Schoonmaker also said he's leaving for the NFL, while leading rusher Blake Corum revealed he is returning to Michigan, while ES PN's Adam Schefter on Monday reported Smith has declared for the draft. The 6-foot-6, 292-pound Morris missed two starts this season with a high ankle sprain but finished with a team-best 11 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks in 12 games. - Detroit News

Mike Morris isn't backing down from his comments in spring, when he publicly said he wanted to be Michigan's next standout defensive end. The Wolverines set out this offseason to try and find replacements for Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo, a pair of A ll-American defensive ends who set records and went drafted by NFL teams. Coaches have done their best to dampen the pressure, saying the production from those two will need to be spread out. And while that might be the case, don't tell that to Morris. H e wants to be the new leader of the group and says he's ready to shoulder the spotlight."I feel like a lot of eyes are on me," said Morris, who recorded 16 tackles (one for a loss), a sack, pass breakup and had an interception in a reserve role. " Not only by the coaches, but by my teammates as well. That means a lot more to me because I have a lot of younger guys now in my position group that are looking at me like, 'What is Mike Mo doing?' "I want that light on me." To help illustrate his dedica tion, Morris returned to campus in May after practice and classes wrapped up to meet with team nutritionist and dietitian Abigail O'Connor. He wanted to add weight so he can play comfortably at all four levels of Michigan's defensive line. "I wanted to p ut on more weight in order to be that dominant," Morris said. "Because at 280 (pounds) last year, I felt like I was making an impact - but I wasn't really very physical in that middle. But now I feel like I'm a lot more physical, a lot more capable, of d oing that kind of stuff." - Ann Arbor News

Michigan edge rusher Mike Morris feels like all eyes are on him entering this season, and that's exactly what he wants. As the Wolverines enter their first season without Aidan Hutchinson, who had a program single-season record with 14 sacks and was the No. 2 overall NFL Draft pick by Detroit and second-round draft pick David Ojabo who added 11 sacks, there's been a lot of talk about who will replace them. Players during the offseason have said it's not about being "another Aidan" or another "Jabo" as t hey refer to Ojabo. In the spring and since preseason camp began Aug. 3, it has been about finding new ways to get pressure on quarterbacks without trying to be someone else. After spring practice, Morris said he felt he had to be the next player to fill those shoes. "I want it to be me," Morris said at the time.Now, a week into camp, Morris has doubled down on that approach. "I feel like who else will?" Morris said Tuesday night after practice. "I want that light on me. I never said I didn't wan t the light on me. I wanted to be in that light, and now I'm in that light."With that light comes expectations. Morris is more than aware of that. "I feel like a lot of eyes are on me," Morris said. "Not only by the coaches but by my teammates as well, w hich means a lot more to me because I have a lot of younger guys now in my position group that are looking at me like, 'What is Mike Mo doing? Let me see if I can apply what he's doing to my game and make it better.' That's the difference right now." Tak ing on greater expectations, wanting the spotlight and the pressure of filling in the gaps in the post-Hutchinson-Ojabo world, the 6-foot-6 Morris decided in May he needed to add weight without disrupting his speed. Last season he played at 278-280 pound s. He entered this camp weighing 292 pounds. - Detroit News
