## Resource

Zeke Berry’s return for his fifth year is a major boost for Michigan’s defense, bringing veteran leadership and proven production back to a thin cornerback depth chart. After nearly leaving amid coaching changes, he chose to stay to play alongside his original teammates, and his impact is already shaping up to be pivotal. With 33 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and an interception in 2025 — plus All-Big Ten honors — Berry’s presence stabilizes the secondary and elevates younger players. Paired with Smith Snowden’s nickel versatility, the new scheme offers flexibility, but Berry’s role at corner is secure. Expect him to anchor a top-tier pass defense and continue climbing draft boards as Michigan’s defense heads into 2026.
