Mailbag question: Brandon Smith

Mailbag question: Brandon Smith

Hi, great site lots of good info keep up the work.

My question is about Brandon Smith, #4, I see him a lot on kickoffs and returns he even got the ball carrier a few times. Is he going to play safety or lb? From what I have seen he brings a lot of intensity to the field. The only thing that bothered me Saturday night was the turnovers, frustrating, and some other things and you know them. Coach Rod gets this program heading towards nothing but battling for January crystal footballs year after year. Go blue wear maize. Thanks for your time,

Thanks for the question and comments.

Brandon Smith has been moved to inside linebacker. This happened late in the spring at the very end of spring practices.

He was too slow and stiff, in our opinion, to play safety at Michigan

He does have the size and proper aptitude to play linebacker. It will be of great interest to see if Brandon Smith stays at inside linebacker, or is given a shot to replace Stevie Brown at strong side linebacker, since this is Stevie’s last year with two freshman currently backing him up.
