## Resource

Michigan’s new defensive coordinator Jay Hill is laying the groundwork for a disciplined, balanced defense as they gear up for their opener against physical Western Michigan. With a focus on stopping the run—where WMU averaged 300 yards per game last season—the interior defensive line led by Jonah Lea’ea, Bobby Kanka, and Deyvid Palepale will anchor the unit. Hill also plans to integrate backups early and welcome key returnees like John Henry Daly and Rod Moore back into form. Crucially, he’s shifting to a more unified communication system, ensuring every defender hears plays directly from the sideline to boost cohesion and execution.
