Sammy Faustin has moved from safety to cornerback in the last week and is challenging for a starting job, while safety Dax Hill is impressing enough to be considered the best player on the team, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday night on the “Inside Michigan Football” radio show.
Michigan must replace cornerback starters Lavert Hill and Ambry Thomas — Thomas opted out when the Big Ten announced in August the postponement of the season. Vince Gray will start at one corner and Gemon Green and Faustin, a redshirt sophomore, are competing for the other spot.
