Mike Sainristil | Michigan Football | Those Who Stay Ep. 6

[@nickgallagher8054]

Mikey made up so much ground on that play. It's arguably the best play of the game

[@ryanher4287]

This just ended any hope they had. So THE POG for me

[@p.j.graham9395]

Momentum-breaker for sure. Loved it.

[@DubLubb]

Right when it happened I screamed at the TV, "that's the play of the season"

[@elhaynie1]

*year

[@Victor-sd5vz]

Best player of the year

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

Mikey Sainristil, my favorite player on this team. His PBU was the play of the year for Michigan.

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

@honestfan442 I've had a perfect picture of that play blown up and printed; now all I need to do is find a nice frame for it and it will go up next to my framed photo of Desmond's 4th down catch against Notre Dame and Marquise Walker's legendary catch against Iowa in Kinnick Stadium. For what it's worth those are the two best catches in Michigan history IMO. I also think Walker is one of the top 2 underrated Michigan players of all time, right up there with Derrick Alexander.

[@wolverinesfan9021]

High character young man, great athlete. Michigan is lucky to have him.

[@crispconnected2137]

Let's F'N Goooo Mikey.

[@Maplenr]

Most important play of the last decade of Michigan football. Cannot wait to see this dude on the field again

[@tobyradenbaugh8965]

And a complete class act off the field and in the classroom. So proud of M players like Mikey👌

Mikey 'The Buckeye Killer'

[@bluetarot9244]

Mike, that was the biggest play knocking that ball away Edo hot at Ohio of the season. You are a gifted amazing athlete and I hope that you have an a magnificent final year and do very well in the NFL because that’s where you’re going blessings and gold blue.🏈〽️💙

[@_ATMBMB_]

@@bluetarot9244 YESSIRRRRR!

[@tomasparsons3386]

This is the year, “Those who stay…” comes to fruition! 15 to go #GoBlue

[@promoteupro]

What a great young man, who's the perfect representative of the team and school! Go Blue!

[@jon-lucappling9528]

That pass brake up was the play of "THE GAME"

[@benniewoods9514]

Couldn't wait to see this get posted .Talk about hidden Gems . I watched him become something no one saw coming . He could easily go back to WR and I don't think anyone remembers how good he was at catching passes . I didn't see him then as a stud DB , but yet here he is . Best 2 way player I've seen at this level in the big 10. And doesn't miss a beat. NFL calling is obvious.

[@JoshuaJohnson-pq7hf]

my man! Freaking love Mikey! So glad he's back. God bless and here's to a healthy season full of wins. let's get that Natty!

[@puremontana5010]

Play of the game!! 👍

[@yaquvyhardson3768]

Nice video, cool to learn more about Mikey Sainristil. To be such a good receiver and DB at the D-1 level playing teams like Ohio shows how freakishly talented he is, but especially humble and hard working. So glad he’s on the team. Great example of how well UM develops their players. He was a high 3 star, low 4 star rated played who almost nobody knew of and has turned himself into a potential 1-3rd round pick, depending on how he progresses this season. I’m confident he will take major strides. If he was that good playing DB in his first year than he should be elite this year with his drive and commitment. Go blue and Mike! Go get that natty, the biggest and best fan base in the world is behind you! Plus with that Michigan degree if the NFL doesn’t work out for whatever reason you can get a job Anywhere and won’t ever have to pay for anything again in A2.

[@weestro7]

Wow, the great player sounds like a great person. Very interesting for the fans to know more about who these players are and hear them talk about bigger things, and the bigger things in the game and in the team. Makes one pause and think about how one can be better.

[@TroyValley]

Mikey is a winner and an absolute dawg, love that he stuck it out at Michigan because he definitely could've played wide out at the DI level if it meant that much to him. Instead he took to the defensive side of the ball like a fish takes to water, it's crazy that he's an unfinished product on defense because he's already at the level where there's no one else I feel more comfortable with watching defend a pass play right now. Congrats on the pick 6 today Mikey, go blue!

[@jeffreymelaniegrabarkiewic3012]

Lot of casual fans may not know him, but one of the greatest Wolverines to ever wear the jersey.

[@northvineinc]

100%

[@tobyradenbaugh8965]

Followed MICH every game since 1972. No one has been better than Mikey on D NO ONE GO BLUE

[@chadp5916]

Watching the "Those Who Stay" series is great! I would like to point out that Coach H doesn't just develop players to their full potential on the field, he develops these young players into men. Listen to them talk, it's not about them it's about the bigger and better things, it's about being successful in life as well as on the field. Love coach H or hate him...he can develop those 3 /low 4 stars into NFL material and it's happened time and time again! Seeing these athletes who stayed and could have went on to the NFL for the 'big dollars' is humbling and it shows that there is real value beyond dollars in being a part of the team. That's the Michigan difference! GO BLUE!

[@jon-lucappling9528]

THAT WAS THE WICKEST DEFENSIVE PLAY THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE YEARS OF EXPERIENING MICHIGAN FOOTBALL SINCE 97 WITH CHARLES WOODSON AND DESMOND HOWARD YUP! GO BLUE FOREVER!

[@dustinb.77]

When I think of the classic and iconic statement, "Those who stay will be champions." Mike Sainistril embodies that statement. In today's transfer portal college football, Sainistril could have packed his bags and left, and to be honest Michigan fans would probably have forgotten all about him, but he chose to trust the process and stay. He developed into a great player and became a champion. He cemented himself in Michigan football history forever!

[@northvineinc]

Legend.

[@jon-lucappling9528]

MIKE SAINRISTIL! JUST DID AND DONE THE PLAY OF "THE GAME" DURING LAST YEAR IN 2022 AND I AM READY TO SEE THAT DOMINATION AGAIN ESPECIALLY FROM THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE FOOTBALL:|

[@kirkburd]

HAIL YES 🙌 GO BLUE 〽️💙〽️💙〽️💙

[@KB1993_]

I could honestly see Mike being a full-time, two-way athlete in the NFL; something that hasn't been accomplished since Charles Bednarik, who played Center and LB for the Eagles from ‘49-’62. Or he could be a Sanders, either way, this guy is generational talent imo.

[@brentweir4651]

A true Michigan Man from Boston, MA!! Do it for us Wolverine fans back "home" MS 0!!!

[@mattwinters186]

This man is gonna b a monster this year beware.

[@MarkPiccoli]

I hope the chargers pick you up Mike in the nfl draft 2024..blue forever🏈🏈keep your head high mike you are the best

[@benclark5373]

That pass break up is equivalent to Tayshauns block on Reggie Miller

[@Jay-n262]

Win a championship 🏆

[@froglord4047]

One of those kids was me 💀

[@thec0lorblue132]

and me

[@dp-116]

That play was the nail in blohio's coffin. That would have been a momentum changer and Mikey deflated the entire joint
