Josh Uche has always been a talented pass rusher.

In 2018, the Michigan linebacker led the team with seven sacks, despite not starting and rotating into the game on a situational basis.

Uche made the most of limited snaps. He had two sacks in a comeback win at Northwestern, including on the final play of the game. And in a three-game stretch against Wisconsin, Michigan State and Penn State, he racked up five total sacks.
