Predicting Michigan football's defensive depth chart: Who will backup the starters?

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan will have 11 starters on defense, just like everyone else, but the top line of the depth chart doesn't tell the whole story. In the era of the expanded College Football Playoff, defenses need depth. Lots of it. As he enters his second season at Michigan, Wink Martindale has a defense composed of interlocking parts, equipped with enough depth and versatility to handle a grueling season. Advertisement 'Each guy is unique in their own way that they play, but the system is the system,' defensive line coach Lou Esposito said. 'Wink is the best guy I've ever been around to maximize guys' potential. If you do this really, really well, we're going to get you to do that as many times as we can within the game plan. He works it that way, and that's what's made him so good.' As with Michigan's offense, projecting the starters on defense is relatively easy. The second line of the depth chart is where things get interesting. Michigan's ability to play situational football — to mix and match personnel packages and find specialized roles for players with specific talents — should keep the Wolverines in the top tier of FBS defenses, even without some of the stars who made last season's defense so formidable. 👀 @Big8DMoore + @JaishawnBarham Bednarik Award Watch List » Defensive Player of the Year — Michigan Football (@UMichFootball) August 11, 2025 'We'll play the best 11 as far as game day,' Martindale said at the beginning of camp. 'Defensively, our best goal that we talked about — and the players were talking about it — is you shouldn't be able to tell what 11 is on the field. We're not even close to being there yet, but we will be.' Starters: Derrick Moore, TJ Guy Backups: Cameron Brandt, Dominic Nichols There's not much left to say about Moore and Guy, who form one of the top edge tandems in the Big Ten. So let's talk about Brandt, a player Martindale said is worthy of being called a third starter. 'He is a very underrated athlete,' Esposito said. 'He has an unbelievable knack to get out of his hips and play with a square, strong stance and great footwork. And he's a student of the game. He just wants to get better consistently. He's always in there watching film. He's always asking questions. I think this will be a big year for him to really take off.' Advertisement Brandt, now in his third year at Michigan, has appeared in every game the past two seasons and worked his way up the edge rotation last year. At 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, he gives the Wolverines a bigger body on the edge to match up with the heavier personnel packages they'll see in the Big Ten. 'He's got heavy hands,' Guy said. 'We'll have drills with arm shields and swipes, and we'll do it with each other. You've got to watch out when he goes because his hands are heavy as hell.' Nichols is still developing as a run defender, Martindale said, but should be in line for a bigger role after earning snaps as a freshman. Though he has older players in front of him, freshman Nate Marshall is showing why scouting services ranked him as a top-50 prospect in the 2025 recruiting class. 'He's got some freakish pass-rush ability,' coach Sherrone Moore said. Starters: Rayshaun Benny, Tré Williams Backups: Damon Payne, Trey Pierce It's hard to believe a defensive line could lose two first-round draft picks and somehow get more experienced. That's the case at Michigan, at least in football years. Benny (fifth-year grad student), Payne (fourth-year senior) and Williams (sixth-year grad student) have combined to appear in 116 games across their college careers at Michigan, Alabama and Clemson. Nobody expects them to replicate what Michigan got from Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant, but they should fit well on a defense that's all about plugging gaps and building a run wall. 'The production of the guys that were here last year was awesome,' Esposito said. 'Sometimes it doesn't show up in stats. It's knock-backs, bouncing plays to someone else. It's new roles for them, same Michigan.' It's worth studying the defensive line rotation in Week 1 to see who emerges as the fourth, fifth or sixth defensive tackle. For the next man up, I went with Pierce, who appeared in 13 games with one start last year. It also could be Enow Etta, the top-rated player in Michigan's 2023 recruiting class. Advertisement Starters: Ernest Hausmann, Jaishawn Barham Backups: Jimmy Rolder, Cole Sullivan This might be the position with the least amount of depth-chart drama, at least at the top. Martindale described Rolder as a third starter alongside Hausmann and Barham, and Sullivan continues to be mentioned as one of Michigan's breakout players in camp. 'I feel really good about that linebacker room, from Ernie, Jaishawn, Jimmy and Cole,' Moore said. '(Sullivan) was a guy that people weren't talking about, didn't know. He's a younger guy. He's a guy that's really stood out. He's very multiple, doing different things.' That likely includes rushing off the edge, a wrinkle we saw from Sullivan in the spring game. Michigan's system relies heavily on simulated pressures, which allow the Wolverines to disguise who's rushing and who's dropping back in coverage. When Graham, Grant and Josaiah Stewart were rushing the quarterback, Michigan didn't need a lot of trickery. Those players are gone now, and while Michigan still has elite pass rushers on the edge, it won't be a surprise if Martindale finds creative ways to incorporate his linebackers in pressure packages. Beyond the top four, it's hard to say who might emerge. Georgia transfer Troy Bowles was injured in the spring, which could delay his timeline a bit. Freshmen Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng and Chase Taylor should have a chance to get their feet wet, but barring injuries, there's no need to rush them. Starters: Zeke Berry, Jyaire Hill, TJ Metcalf (nickel) Backups: Jo'Ziah Edmond, Caleb Anderson, Shamari Earls Playing nickel in Michigan's defense is not for the faint of heart. Dax Hill and Mike Sainristil played that role, and it's no coincidence that both are in the NFL. 'At the nickel spot, you have to cover a lot more field,' said Berry, who began last season at nickel before shifting outside. 'You've got to be able to be fast.' Advertisement Berry admitted he was 'in (his) head' at times last season as he tried to juggle the responsibilities of playing nickel, which include guarding smaller slot receivers, blitzing and making tackles in run support. He's still practicing there, as are most of Michigan's older defensive backs, but Michigan appears to like him outside opposite Hill. That would leave Metcalf, a transfer from Arkansas, as the potential starter at nickel. 'He's a dog, man,' Berry said. 'I like that guy. He came in ready to work.' Anderson, a transfer from Louisiana, has experience with defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan, and Edmond has had some nice moments in camp, including a pair of pick-sixes. That could give them a narrow edge over Earls and fellow freshman Jayden Sanders, though Earls and Sanders have the talent to close the gap in a hurry. Starters: Brandyn Hillman, Mason Curtis Backups: Jaden Mangham, Rod Moore There's certain things you'd expect to be hearing at this point if Michigan felt confident that Moore, now roughly 18 months removed from a major knee injury, was ready to play significant snaps. To be frank, we're not hearing those things. 'He's pushing,' Sherrone Moore said. 'He's been in walk-throughs. He's slowly, steadily going to get into some practice stuff.' Michigan's coaches have said Moore will play when he's ready. When that might be is anyone's guess. In the meantime, Michigan has another veteran safety who's trying to regain his old form in Jaden Mangham, a transfer from Michigan State who missed most of last season with an injury. 'He's been a great surprise,' Morgan said. 'I'm a big fan of him. He's going to definitely be helping us Week 1, first quarter. He's going to be a real guy for us.' Mangham had 53 tackles and four interceptions to earn honorable mention all-Big Ten honors in 2023 at Michigan State. He dropped off the radar last season but could emerge as an important part of Michigan's secondary, especially if Moore's recovery lingers into the season. Advertisement Hillman has gained a reputation as the big hitter in Michigan's secondary, and Curtis is one of Michigan's most versatile defenders at 6-5. He's still learning to play defensive back after playing outside linebacker and wide receiver in high school, but his length creates intriguing hybrid possibilities, especially when Michigan plays him at nickel. 'We can move him around,' Morgan said, 'He has a high, high ceiling.' Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Dolphins' Chop Robinson leaves on cart during practice, says it's not serious

Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson, coming off a strong rookie season, said that he's 'good' after being carted off the field early in the team's joint practice with the Detroit Lions in suburban Detroit on Wednesday. Robinson, on Instagram, said: 'I'm good ya'll. Nothing serious.' Robinson did not accompany teammates on a bus back to the team hotel. He instead was transported by car to an unidentified location. A source said it's not a head injury. Robinson was injured during a scramble for a loose ball; linebacker Jordyn Brooks forced a fumble on Detroit running back David Montgomery. Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and linebacker Jaelan Phillips went to check on him. Robinson had six sacks as a rookie last season and is expected to have a major role this season, in combination with Phillips and Bradley Chubb.
