Ben Herbert leaving for the Los Angeles Chargers was a bit of a shock to the Michigan football community, considering he was at Sherrone Moore’s introductory press conference a couple days before he left. However, Moore acted fast by elevating assistant strength coach Justin Tress to take over.
Tress joined Michigan in 2018, coming over from Arkansas alongside Herbert. He has progressed through the ranks over the years as Herbert’s trusted right-hand man, and now has the opportunity to carry on the culture that was established over the last several years.
However, Tress is still a bit of a mystery to those outside the program.
