The Michigan Wolverines defensive line is a source of questions heading into the 2021 season, but there are some known commodities. Fifth-year defensive lineman Jess Speight is one of those figures and will factor into the rotation this season even if just in a depth role.
Here is a look at his Michigan career so far and a snapshot of how he might fit this season.
The story so far
Speight, whose brother Wilton spent time in Ann Arbor from 2014-17, is a former walk-on and joined the program ahead of the 2017 season. Speight spent much of the first two seasons of his career as a member of the scout team and played in one game during the 2018 season.
