Josaiah Stewart, EDGE (Coastal Carolina)

Michigan football has been spectacular at churning out pro-level edge prospects. Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo are the names many know.

But Mike Morris and Taylor Upshaw are both going to be playing in the NFL next season and Morris is likely going to be picked by the end of the second day (of the draft) at least.

With Eyabi Okie, Derrick Moore, Braiden McGregor, and Jaylen Harrell, the pass rush is still going to be solid next season, but you can never have enough edge rushers.

Michigan football seems to take that view because the Wolverines joined the mix with Josaiah Stewart, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound EDGE on Tuesday. He was second-team All-Sun Belt after 41 tackles, 3.5 sacks, five quarterback hurries, and a total of 40 pressures in 2022.

It’s interesting that Michigan is offering more underclassmen than usual due to some of the admissions issues in the past of getting all credits to transfer. Stewart and Cuevas would both have multiple years of eligibility, while Davis and Cypress are graduate transfers.
