Jesse Minter named a top-10 defensive coordinator in college football by PFF

The Michigan Wolverines are set for a massive 2023 football season as Jim Harbaugh and almost his entire staff return with a veteran-led team.

One of those returning staff members is defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who did not miss a step from a defense that lost three elite talents from a season before. All Minter did was build a “no-star” unit that earned top marks for the majority of the season, utilizing both true freshmen and experienced players in the process.

Accolades came Minter’s way, including being named a finalist for the Broyles Award, named to the best assistant coach in college football.
