Khaleke Hudson #7 of the Michigan Wolverines celebrates a first half tackle with Devin Bush #10 while playing the Maryland Terrapins on October 6, 2018 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Michigan won the game 42-12. Coach Jim Harbaugh has snagged several nationally-ranked players, making Michigan the No. The team also underwent coaching changes since last season and some of its top players moved onto the NFL. Many are hoping the talent -- of both players and new coaches -- can make up for the shifts in personnel.

Last season, Winovich, Gary, Bush and Long combined for 209 tackles, 33.5 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and 15 pass breakups. How the Wolverines replace that NFL talent on defense will be a major factor in meeting those high expectations. Khaleke Hudson #7 of the Michigan Wolverines celebrates a first half tackle with Devin Bush #10 while playing the Maryland Terrapins on October 6, 2018 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During his breakout 2017 season, Hudson led the team with 11 pass breakups and tied Long and Lavert Hill with two interceptions. Hudson became a starter for the first time as the Wolverines tried to replace four defensive backs, a linebacker and three defensive linemen.
