Sports Illustrated published an article highlighting 12 players who can make such an impact in 2017-18 that they can make their team a National Championship contender. Here’s what they wrote about sophomore DE Rashan Gary:
Gary wasn’t a slouch as a freshman last season (27 tackles, one sack as a backup), but the Wolverines were so stacked on defense that he didn’t have to make a huge contribution. With ends Taco Charlton and Chris Wormley gone, Gary will be expected to terrorize opposing quarterbacks and set the edge so backs can’t bounce runs outside for extra yardage.
