NCAAFB – With mix of blue-chips and 3-stars, Michigan  develops top D

  Michigan brings the third-ranked defense in the  country into the its College Football Playoff semifinal against No. 3 TCU at  the Fiesta Bowl. The unit is a mix of developmental success stories such as  defensive end Mike Morris and defensive back Mike Sainristil and blue-chip  recruits such as Mazi Smith and Will Johnson. Defensive coordinator Jesse  Minter says the defense is a testament to coach Jim Harbaugh’s player  development model. TCU offensive coordinator Garret Riley says beyond  Michigan’s talent, the discipline of the Wolverines is the biggest challenge.

He says he had already taken the required  eight-hour class and was several days away from turning in the necessary  paperwork. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. He has continued to play  for the Wolverines, who face TCU in a College Football Playoff semifinal this  weekend at the Fiesta Bowl.
