Michael Barrett path to Michigan, outlook for 2023

Michael Barrett was recruited to the Michigan Wolverines as an athlete, and that’s exactly what he has been for the last five seasons. Barrett is a 240-pound front-seven Swiss Army Knife that has repeatedly adapted his playing style and role in order to fill various needs when called upon.

Journey so far

After redshirting in 2018, Barrett became a key special teams player in 2019. Barrett — who was a former dual-threat high school quarterback — was even called upon to complete a pass on a fake punt to Dax Hill for a critical fourth-down conversion against Army.
