Chris Partridge reveals where freshman sensation Daxton Hill is on safety depth chart

Daxton Hill is the projected gem of Michigan Football’s 2019 recruiting class, as the five-star safety is expected to have an impact in Ann Arbor as early as this season. Michigan safeties/special teams coach Chris Partridge has already seen flashes of brilliance during fall camp and heading into the season opener on Saturday.

“He can run, he can tackle, he’s a great young man, he’s got a great work ethic,” Partridge said. “He’s as advertised. We’re very excited about him.

“He’s a really good cover guy. That’s where he’s excelled, I’d say. But he’s gonna be an all-around great player.
