## Resource

Michigan’s new defensive coordinator Jay Hill brings a winning pedigree and deep ties to head coach Kyle Whittingham, having coached alongside him at Utah and later transforming BYU’s defense from worst to best in one season. With a proven track record at Weber State and a knack for developing talent, Hill is poised to rebuild Michigan’s defense—now depleted by player departures—with a focus on aggressive play and turnover creation. Key challenges lie in strengthening the linebacker corps, bolstering the secondary around Jyaire Hill, and adding another pass rusher. If Hill can assemble the right mix of returning players and new recruits, Michigan’s defense could reclaim elite status.
