Michigan DL Rashan Gary ready for a starring role in second season

As the No.1 player in the country out of high school in 2016, Rashan Gary understood pressure.

He spent his freshman season at Michigan learning from NFL-caliber defensive ends.

Now, still in the spring of his freshman year, he’s expecting to shine in Year 2.

U-M defensive coordinator Don Brown said last week Gary and Maurice Hurst could be the best tackle-anchor tandem in the country.

Gary has no problem with that tag.

“That’s the goal, yes I do, I believe in it,” he said Wednesday after Michigan’s third practice of the spring, the first in pads.
