  Draft Scout by Conference









  As the Wolverines unofficially kick off the 2023 season this week (they began spring practice on Monday), they'll look to lean on the 6-foot-6, 261-pound McGregor at the edge rusher/outside linebacker position, a vital one these days in college football. Mike Morris, named the Big Ten's defensive lineman of the year in 2022 with a team-high 7 1/2 sacks, has departed. So has impact edge-rusher Eyabi Okie. In a sense, the deck has been cleared for McGregor, who played a limited snap count last season, primarily on third down, whose time is now. He'll likely line up opposite of junior Jaylen Harrell, who emerged as a starting-caliber outside linebacker in 2022 and figures to be a big part of the team's pass-rushing success again this fall.

Michigan's defense ranked top-10 in the country in points and yards allowed last season, an impressive feat given the fact that it was on its third coordinator in as many years. But through a blend of elite play on the back end and an improved situation up the middle, the Wolverines didn't have to rely on the edge to impact games. The group, instead, just had to complement everything else. And it did. While McGregor was able to get name onto the stat sheet (4 1/2 tackles for loss, two sacks), the list was crowded with names who made an impact. The aforementioned Morris and Harrell, middle linebacker Michael Barrett (who is also returning), Okie and defensive tackle Mason Graham, among others. - Ann Arbor News
