Mike Danna grew up in metro Detroit, attended Warren De La Salle and had always dreamed of playing football for Michigan.

But after suffering a broken leg early in his senior season, he fell off the recruiting radar as teams lost interest. Except Central Michigan. Danna, a defensive end, was a First Team All-Mid-American conference defense selection after his performance with the Chippewas last fall. He finished with 65 tackles, including 14 for loss and 8 1/2 sacks. He also had two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

After graduating from CMU in May with a degree in entrepreneurship, Danna will relocate to Ann Arbor.
