Michigan Football Lands Three Players on College Football Top 100

Here is who made the cut from the Maize and Blue.

John Henry Daley (No. 55) - EDGE

After losing some valuable pieces up front to the NFL draft, the Wolverines brought in Henry Daley through the transfer portal to help fill the void. 

The Alpine, Ariz. native came to Ann Arbor from Utah, where he previously played under new head coach Kyle Whittingham. He was an All-American a season ago and will be the primary replacement for Derrick Moore. 

With three years of college experience, Henry Daley will have All-American potential yet again and is a near lock to be a high draft pick in next year’s NFL draft.

Jordan Marshall (No. 37) - RB

We saw the potential of Jordan Marshall after Justice Haynes suffered a season-ending injury in 2025. Without a doubt, Marshall was the best ‘backup’ running back in the Big Ten and maybe the country.

The Wolverines rushing attack didn’t lose a step when Marshall filled in for Haynes. He had four straight games with at least 110 rushing yards and accumulated seven touchdowns during that span.

If Michigan didn’t use a running back by committee with the amount of talent they typically have, he would be higher on this list.

Jyaire Hill (No. 24) - CB

One of the most experienced players in the secondary, Hill has been in Ann Arbor for the past three seasons. He has played in 29 games and started in 22 of those.

“Jyaire Hill is one of the steadiest corners in the country,”  Brooks said. “A standout in zone, the 6-foot-2 Wolverine consistently uses his length to disrupt routes and hear his name called over the PA system. Each of the last two years he’s logged at least a 76 PFF coverage grade, 12 stops, and seven defended passes. And he’s coming off an effort where he beat national averages in Clamp Rate (24.5 percent), yards/target (4.8), and yards/coverage snap (0.6).”

Expect Hill to have the best season of his career in his final season of college football. The Wolverines will need Hill if they want a chance to win the conference, especially when facing players like Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State), who came in at No.1 on the list.
