Scouting report

Via On3’s EJ Holland:

Hammond might seem a little bit like a ‘boring’ take, but Michigan fans will be glad he’s on the roster years from now … It is going to take some time for Hammond to develop under both Elston and Herbert before he makes a meaningful impact. But I do think Hammond will provide depth and be a late career starter. Right now, I see him as more of a three-technique in Michigan’s defensive scheme. Like I said, he has the frame to add plenty of weight, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him get close to 300 pounds
