The Wolverines have some talent to replace in the secondary and Michigan will need this guy to step up.
Zeke Berry came to Michigan as a highly-rated four-star recruit out of California. He signed with the Wolverines as one of the top safeties in the 2022 class. But Michigan is looking to use the hard-nosed tackler in a different way in 2024.
Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale was asked about the nickel competition on Tuesday during media availability. He said Berry came out of spring slotted into that first spot on the depth chart at nickel. But with fall camp starting on Wednesday, competition will brew with McBurrows and the situation is very fluid.
It won't be easy to replace Sainrstil. The two-year nickel starter was a converted wide receiver but played the defensive back spot like a seasoned veteran. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and Michigan could always count on Sainristil to make a play for the team.
