Which defensive single-season records can be broken in 2023 for Michigan football

It’ll be tough for some of these defensive records to be broken!

On Wednesday, I wrote an article predicting which Michigan football offensive single-season records may be broken in 2023 and how likely the chances are — you can see that article below.

We now turn our eyes to the Wolverines’ defense. Michigan did lose a couple of ‘stars’ on the defense from a season ago. Mazi Smith was drafted in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, and both DJ Turner and Mike Morris were also quality draft selections.

But the Wolverines return plenty of really good pieces in 2023 and with Jesse Minter returning for the second year in a row, the Michigan defense shouldn’t miss a beat.

We are going to show you who holds each record, the player that has the best chance to break each record, and the chances it happens in 2023.
