A look inside Michigan’s cornerback room without Ambry Thomas

Presumptive Michigan Wolverines’ starting cornerback Ambry Thomas chose to forgo his senior season and declared for the NFL Draft last week amid the Big Ten canceling their fall season due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Thomas is now the second Wolverine to opt-out of the potential spring season, with Jalen Mayfield also declaring last week.

Losing a senior starter like Thomas is a big blow to the defense, mostly because the guys behind him have played so few minutes on the field.

In 2019, Lavert Hill and Ambry Thomas locked down wideouts, and a strong candidate of Vincent Gray rose the rankings.
