Predicting how some of Michigan’s biggest position battles will play out: Part 2

The Michigan Wolverines are gearing up for the 2024 football season with significant changes and fierce competition in the defensive backfield. Head coach Sherrone Moore recently bolstered the secondary by adding four defensive backs via the transfer portal: safeties Jaden Mangham and Wesley Walker and cornerbacks Aamir Hall and Ricky Johnson.

These new additions will intensify the positional battles at both the cornerback and safety positions, which are crucial for maintaining Michigan’s defensive prowess.
