HC Sherrone Moore praises an unheralded lineman, claiming he is 'All-Big Ten Caliber'

Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore is known as a no-nonsense leader; if he says something, it is because he believes it. While some have described him as a players' coach, that also comes with brutal honesty. In Moore's world, credit is given when and where credit is earned. Most players thrive under that type of leadership, which recognizes hard work, effort, and discipline that result in success.

During his Monday before gameday press conference, Moore took the time to praise a few players who have embraced the fall camp as a chance to showcase their abilities. One of those players is defensive lineman Trey Pierce. Pierce has all of the physical tools to play and dominate in the Big Ten. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound lineman has nimble feet and agility that are not often found in a young man his size. Moore proclaimed his belief that Pierce can perform at an "All-Big Ten caliber."
