Two of the cornerstones in the Michigan secondary have made the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List, cornerback Lavert Hill and safety Josh Metellus.
Metellus record 48 tackles (29 solo) in 2018 while also hauling in 3 interceptions. Metellus play earned him associated press All Big Ten first-team honors.
Hill had an impressive 2018 in his own right, shutting down receivers aplenty. Hill’s play led to him being a unanimous All Big Ten first-team selection, being a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist, and being selected as a associated press All-American (third-team).
