Rating 97

Michigan star Jabrill Peppers is primed to have a huge third season for the Wolverines. A finalist for the Hornung Trophy in 2015 for the nation's most versatile player, he has played safety, cornerback, running back and wide receiver for the Wolverines in the last 12 months while also taking on both punt and kick return duties.

On Monday at the Wolverines' first spring practice at IMG Academy, Peppers took snaps at the outside linebacker position. The Wolverines lose three starters at linebacker this season, with senior Ben Gedeon the only returning player at the position with experience. Redshirt junior Mike McCray, redshirt sophomore Noah Furbush, true freshman Devin Bush Jr. and redshirt freshman Reuben Jones are among players believed to be competing for the other open spots at linebacker in 2016.

Peppers was a first-team All-Freshman Big Ten member last season and was a first-team All-B1G selection on defense as well. He had 45 tackles and 10 pass breakups defensively, and added 568 all-purpose yards between his contributions on offense and special teams.
