## Resource

Michigan’s got big playoff dreams in 2026, and Bryce Underwood is key—but the defense needs breakout stars, especially at linebacker. With key losses from last year, the Wolverines are counting on young talent like Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng, the highly recruited but injury-riddled sophomore who logged just four tackles last season. NOB’s got the speed and instincts to be a first-team All-Big Ten and even All-American—if he can stay healthy. Alongside Troy Bowles and Chase Taylor, and with help from transfer Nathaniel Staehling, Michigan’s linebackers could be the surprise force that turns the season around.
