Wolverine247 has confirmed that redshirt freshman defensive back Jabrill Peppers will shift from cornerback to safety in the 2015 season.

Peppers, who played sparingly last season while battling an undisclosed leg injury, played cornerback under Brady Hoke's staff, starting one game.

The former five-star prospect is expected to be a major contributor for the Wolverines this season, and a shift to safety puts him in a position to start at the strong spot alongside senior Jarrod Wilson, who will be the favorite to start at free safety for the third straight season.
