Ann Arbor — For Mike Danna, Michigan had him at hello.

In fact, Michigan always had his heart. But after playing for Warren De La Salle, Danna went to Central Michigan where he was as all-Mid-American Conference first team last season and earned the team’s Herb Deromedi Most Valuable Player award. He had 66 tackles, including 15 for a loss and 9.5 sacks last season and considered heading to the NFL but instead entered the transfer portal.

A few schools called, but he only had ears for Michigan.
