The Michigan Wolverines are having to reload across most position groups heading into the 2025 season, but linebacker isn’t one of them. One of the top returning players on the entire defense, Ernest Hausmann is back one more year and hoping to take Michigan back to the College Football Playoff before heading to the NFL.
Today, we detail Hausmann’s path to Michigan and his outlook for the upcoming season.
The journey so far
Hausmann was a three-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class out of Columbus, Nebraska. He signed with the hometown Cornhuskers over offers from other schools like Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Minnesota and more.
