Ann Arbor – In the last few games since Michigan redshirt freshman safety Jabrill Peppers has also become quarterback Jabrill Peppers and receiver Jabrill Peppers and running back Jabrill Peppers and kick-returner Jabrill Peppers -- not to mention nickel Jabrill Peppers and cornerback Jabrill Peppers -- people have really begun to notice … Jabrill Peppers.
Peppers has become Michigan’s three-way threat and even earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors for his play in each phase of the Minnesota game last Saturday. Now he and the 16th-ranked Wolverines are preparing for Saturday’s game at home against Rutgers, which features many of the players the New Jersey-bred Peppers grew up playing with and against.
