Michigan Football: Michael Barrett could be an ideal viper

When Michael Barrett joined the Michigan football program, playing multiple positions was always a possibility.

But during his redshirt freshman season with the Wolverines, he moved all over, going from linebacker to wide receiver to running back. Now, the 6-foot, 220-pounder has been moved back to defense and it feels like this move will be permanent.

Barrett, who was a member of the 2018 recruiting class as a three-star, was a quarterback in high school, but one that ran a lot. His rushing numbers were extremely impressive and he seemed like a natural fit at running back.
