Michigan football has a star linebacker in the making, but must find more help

(This is Part 7 of a series reviewing Michigan’s 2019 position groups and looking ahead to 2020).

Michigan football entered 2019 needing to find a replacement for one of the best linebackers in program history.

One year later, the Wolverines seem to have done as well as they could've.

Replacing Devin Bush Jr. was no easy task, but Michigan's found his heir apparent: Cam McGrone.

Injuries allowed McGrone to earn playing time as a redshirt freshman this past fall and pretty soon, it became clear he was the team's top middle linebacker and the closest thing to Bush on the roster.
