The Texans have displayed interest in Michigan hybrid outside linebacker-defensive end Michael Danna, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

The conversations have gone well with the Texans and Danna, according to a source.

A graduate transfer and former first-team All-Mid American Conference selection at Central Michigan, the school where J.J. Watt began his career before transferring to Wisconsin, Danna had 38 tackles, three for losses, three sacks, two quarterback hurries and a forced fumble in his one season at Michigan.

Danna played in the East-West Shrine all-star game, meeting with the Denver Broncos and other NFL teams.

He is graded as a priority free agent.

The 6-2, 261-pounder had 151 tackles at Central Michigan, including 27 1/2 for losses and 15 sacks. He had a career-high 8 1/2 sacks in 2018.

He was primarily a traditional defensive end for the Wolverines, but projects to outside linebacker in the NFL.
