  08/14/22 - DE *Mike MorrisJr/2023, Michigan

  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 All-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. He 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 dedication, 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 put 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 doing that kind of stuff." - Ann Arbor News
