Michigan Football: Ranking the Top 10 players on the current roster
Eight, nine, and ten
Luiji Vilain
Depending on where you look, Luiji Vilain is either directly behind Aiden Hutchinson or in the mix with Aiden for the starting DE position.
Luiji Vilain
Class: 2017
VA: 3 WDE: 5 National: 57 Composite: 9734 4-star
With the loss of Rashan Gary to the NFL, Luiji could make a splash this fall on the line playing opposite either Kwity Paye, Josh Uche, or graduate transfer Mike Danna.
Michael Onwenu
Seriously, I wasn’t lying about this incredible offensive line. Michael Onwenu came back for his final season at the right guard spot.

Class: 2016
MI: 1 OG: 4 National: 87 Composite: 9571 4-star
Michael has played in 33 games, including 21 starts while becoming a three-time letter winner.
Mazi Smith
Coming in at No. 10 on the list is the star in-state incoming freshman, Mazi Smith. Mazi graduated from East Kentwood High School on the outskirts of Grand Rapids.
Mazi Smith
Class: 2019
