While Michigan was able to contain one crucial part to its defense with Aidan Hutchinson declaring that he would return for his senior year, it turns out that it will lose another pivotal piece.

The Wolverines barely got to see middle linebacker Cam McGrone’s potential, as he didn’t even have one full year of starting under his belt. McGrone started getting significant playing time in 2019, but with a couple games already underway. In 2020, he started out of the gates, but was lost for the season with an injury.

Unwilling to risk another potential injury, McGrone announced that he is following his heart and entering the 2021 NFL Draft.

A former five-star, according to 247Sports, McGrone was a crucial part of the middle of the defense. However, it is unknown what Michigan’s defense will be in the future, considering that a new defensive coordinator to replace Don Brown has yet to be named.

McGrone had up to three years of eligibility remaining.
