Michigan Gets GREAT News on Defense, + Michigan a Top School For KEY 2026 Recruits, and More!!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

UPDATE: Rayshaun Benny has announced himself on social media that he will be returning to Michigan next season!!

[@MissionForward3]

Great news! The dude's a dawg..... GO BLUE!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@ Yessir!

[@jackpackage4278]

Such an underrated player. I honestly think Benny was a top 15 (at least) D lineman this past season he just happened to be behind 2 generational players. If he had gone in the portal he would’ve been the #1 DL imo.

[@WeLoveSheroneMoore]

Rod Moore staying is great to have deep protection vs JJ smith

[@RawTakeFlatOut]

Jeremiah* smith

[@honestfan442]

We just locked him up with backups bro we are not worried about that guy

[@KjTheQuarterback]

@@RawTakeFlatOutHis nickname is JJ smith

[@RawTakeFlatOut]

@KjTheQuarterback It's only one JJ, JJ McCarthy. It's sounds like he hates his name, Jeremiah, so he is pleading that everyone calls jim JJ. It's seen so forced and water down because JJ McCarthy made JJ sound so cool.

[@NicThomas7144]

Yeah, I agree it's Jeremiah Smith, around here.

[@josephcollica9967]

Love your channel. Keep up the good work! Go blue!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@josephcollica9967 I appreciate it, will do!

We are solid up the middle Benny-Hausmann-Moore! Another Top notch D on deck!! #smash〽️

[@jivepatrol6833]

Really good news on the players returning for 2025! And I watched the basketball game last night and that shot by the Minnesota player for the win was amazing! A tough loss on the road but they played hard and are still in good shape overall for the season. Go Blue!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@jivepatrol6833 Yessir! And yeah I agree. That was clearly one of their worst performances of the season and they still had a chance to win it at the end. Took a buzzer beater to beat them on an off night. Time to bounce back against Northwestern, Go Blue!!

[@jofi4580]

The depth of that defensive line is going to absolutely wear out every opponent.

[@freeheeler00]

The defense will be deep in 2025 and it all starts up front. Benny, Pierce, Etta, Iwunnah, Payne, and Williams will provide a great rotation on the inside and D. Moore, T.J. Guy, Brandt, Nichols, and true freshman Nathaniel Marshall will be great on the edges. Barham will be all over the place but I think we'll still see him more as a linebacker than anything.

[@richhopson6063]

Great news for our defense. Hope we can put together a good 2026 class too. The BB team played a little sloppy for sure, but it is the BIG10. Thank for the update. Go Blue!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@richhopson6063 Yessir! Hoping for a top 5 class or better in the 2026 class. Time for the basketball team to bounce back against Northwestern. Go Blue!

[@richhopson6063]

@@MichiganSportsTalk Yep, and I'm sure they will.

[@WeLoveSheroneMoore]

Already getting commits for next year is HUGE... The downside is there is always a possibility of decomitting like Ty Haywood because of our performance next year...

[@jinorimo6090]

I think this is a top-10 defense. Even with a slight regression from Zvada (say 80% instead of 95%) and a new punter, they are in great shape to win close games. Offense though, man, that OL needs a couple bodies along with a WR.

[@johnnywebb2351]

Thanks for the outstanding job and update MST

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@johnnywebb2351 No problem, glad you enjoyed. Go Blue!

[@fall4ever]

What a great combo on defense! Can't wait until April! 〽️🏈💛💙

Yessir! Can't wait either, should be a fun. Go Blue!!

Him combined with the transfer from Clemson is gonna be a problem! Defense will definitely be STACKED!!! CHIP SEASON! GO BLUE!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@973Sabree Don’t forget about Damon Payne too. Defensive line is stacked again for next season!

[@ddavis1786]

Those who stay will be Champions! 2025 should continue the rebuilding started last year…and who knows how far the Wolverines will go in the CFP with this returning veteran DEF! Go Blue!!!!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@ddavis1786 Hail yeah! Go Blue!!〽️

[@jofi4580]

The loss to Minnesota was a well timed smack in the face. This team struggles with turnovers and the Wolff and Goldin are constantly in foul trouble. They have to fix these two issues if they want to have a truly successful season. Lastly though, that shot at the end of the game was great. That guy from Minnesota can play.

[@Preston_Prosper]

Gonna be the best D line in football next yr!

[@rosshixon6796]

Thoughts on Michigan's loss to Minnesota is kinda hilarious. Cant win many games turning the ball over a dozen times.

[@chrisking6598]

#GoBlue

[@llongone2]

The Jackson Cantwell footage is hilarious. You just feel sorry for high school defensive linemen who have to go up against him.

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@llongone2 Yeah it’s basically unfair lol

[@johnnywebb2351]

Well should have pounded the ball inside DM has to make better halftime and in game adjustments Better situational awareness

[@bossdawg41]

I do not want to hear about Michigan basketball. They make me so mad they can be so great and then do stuff like this.

[@timdepaulis2487]

Better than last years team. So at least we got something to route for!

[@bossdawg41]

@@timdepaulis2487 bro I hear you don’t get me wrong so much better than what we’ve been putting up with for the past couple years, but I want this team to do what I know it can do step on their necks and do not let the foot up. They are giving people opportunity to hang with them and the other teams that we have played don’t even belong on the same court with them bro

[@jeffreyolshelfske2413]

Good luck to the Detroit Lions fun team to watch I like there dances it would be fun if a player did the David hill lol they need to switch defenses man to man bad with running QB like buffalo threw to the backs they need to switch it up confuse him this is the best chance Detroit has to get to the super bowl go lions
