One of the most interesting additions to Michigan’s squad this offseason is Ernest Hausmann, who is trying to carve out a role in a talented linebacker corps for the Wolverines, spearheaded by Junior Colson and Mike Barrett.
Linebackers coach Chris Partridge, who returned to Ann Arbor after three seasons as the Ole Miss defensive coordinator, says Hausmann is fitting in just fine with the group.
“I do consider all three of those guys, Mike Barrett, Junior (Colson), and Ernest Hausmann starters for us,” Partridge said.
But he had more words about the way Hausmann uses his football IQ to bring a different dimension to the middle of the defense.
