3 biggest questions facing Michigan football in 2023
Will the No. 2 cornerback hold up?
This is another position that isn’t quite settled. Josh Wallace, a transfer portal cornerback from UMass is expected to visit this week and would add another body to the mix.
Wallace is 6-foot-1 and had 32 solo tackles in each of the past two seasons. He only intercepted two passes in that time but did have 20 pass breakups.
Penn State, Oklahoma, and some other programs are in the mix. Yet, Wallace has ties to Michigan through Don Brown, the UMass head coach, and others.
Amorion Walker could still earn the starting job and I don’t think Michigan football fans should sleep on Jyaire Hill or Ja’Den McBurrows. When McBurrows is healthy, he’s got starter ability. Cameron Calhoun is another guy I like along with Myles Pollard.
The Wolverines clearly have options. Yet, they are still after Wallace, which could mean they have some concerns about the starting cornerback job.
Still, those questions aren’t that big and Michigan has some solid potential answers for each, except figuring out how to win bowl/playoff games. That they just need to do. I don’t know that there’s a magic trick outside of just playing better.
