Related Topics: Mike Sainristil

After the completion of an outstanding run at Michigan, defensive back Mike Sainristil is off to the 2024 NFL Draft. Sainristil’s story is a bit unique. Listed as a three-star cornerback recruit by 247Sports, he came to Ann Arbor in 2019 to play wide receiver. He made an impact on offense his first three seasons before moving to defense and becoming one of college football’s best nickel corners for his final two seasons.

With so much success over the last two years, Sainristil has made a case to be one of the better defensive backs in this year’s draft class, especially at the nickel.
