Devin Gil and Josh Ross splitting first-team reps at WILL
Sophomores Devin Gil and Josh Ross are splitting first-team reps at WILL, linebackers coach Al Washington said at Michigan’s Monday media availability.
“(Gil’s) a dude, in the words of coach Brown,” Washington said, “but they’re both giving quality reps.
“You have to squint when watching the tape sometimes since each player is giving a consistent performance.”
Gil technically started the 2017 opener against Florida, but only tallied five tackles and a blocked punt recovery the rest of the year. Ross made four tackles as a special teams player in his true freshman campaign.
Read between the tea leaves if you will, but the first-year position coach offered the most praise for Gil.
