08/28/21 - OLB Nikhai Hill-Green, rSr/2025, Transfer

Redshirt freshman Nikhai Hill-Green has earned the second starting inside linebacker role at Michigan, edging out the returning Mike Barrett, assistant coach George Helow said Thursday. "He's had a really good offseason," Helow, assigned to coach the linebackers, told reporters outside Schembechler Hall. "Nikhai had a plan this offseason: He really got after it in the weight room (and) changed his body. Had a great camp. He's our starting WILL linebacker right now." The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Pittsburgh, Pa., native has impressed the coaching staff this offseason with his knack for picking things up quickly and applying them on the field.

Michigan is expected to debut a new-look defensive scheme against Western Michigan on Sept. 4, and Hill-Green will line up next to Ross as the Wolverines' two inside linebackers in a 3-4 scheme that will feature big-bodied ends as outside linebackers. "He's earned the right to start," Helow continued. "Does everything you ask him to do. He's very coachable. He's playing with his hands, down hill and has a good understanding of the defense and what we're trying to do." Helow went on to describe Hill-Green - who played in three games last fall as a true freshman, all on special teams - as an avid notetaker in meetings and eager to learn. "I really just put my all into this team," Hill-Green told reporters last week. "I really just bet on myself. I put everything into my nutrition, my film study - and just being all-in to this team." - Ann Arbor News
