  07/29/22 - DE Taylor UpshawrSr/2024, Arizona

  The departures of Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo have left a hole in Michigan's defense. A huge one. The two defensive ends combined for 25 sacks, 28 1/2 tackles for loss and became a major problem for opposing quarterbacks. Hutchinson wound up being a Heisman Trophy finalist, while Ojabo emerged as an All-American and first-team all-Big Ten selection. Together, the two comprised the best edge-rushing duo in the country. But with both now gone, how will the Michigan defense go about replacing them? In spring, first-year coordinator Jesse Minter acknowledged the tough task ahead. He said it wouldn't be one or two players who make up the lost contribution. It's going to take multiple.

But who will they be? Taylor Upshaw and Mike Morris figure to be the front runners, along with Kris Jenkins, outside linebacker Jaylen Harrell and Braiden McGregor as a pass-rush specialist. Expect multiple players to see extensive playing time this fall, a departure from Hutchinson seeing the field on nearly every play of every game. Some players will specialize on first and second down (Morris, Upshaw), while others (Harrell, McGregor) could be brought in for third-and-long situations. It might be the biggest question mark facing Michigan this offseason, and one we really won't have an answer for until Week 1. - Ann Arbor News
