As George Rooks and classmate Rayshaun Benny enter their second season in Ann Arbor, the depth chart looks suddenly open along the interior defensive line. The redshirt freshmen barely got on the field last season, but there are not a ton of certainties within their position group heading into 2022.
Benny is the better prospect and likely the one who enters the season with more promise, but do not count out Rooks just yet. The Michigan Wolverines have plenty of needs across the defensive front, and even if that means becoming a rotational piece, Rooks could still make an impact in the near future.
