Michigan Football Preview - Jabrill Peppers, Rashan Gary

July 21, 2018
Paramus Catholic teammates Jabrill Peppers and Rashan Gary now anchor Michigan's defense, with Peppers transitioning to outside linebacker and Gary arriving as the top-ranked recruit in 2016.

Paramus Catholic in New Jersey sent two remarkable talents to Michigan: Jabrill Peppers and Rashan Gary. Peppers' versatility made him a star on both offense and defense in high school, and he's now transitioning from defensive back to outside linebacker with the Wolverines.

Gary arrives as the top-ranked prospect in the 2016 class, a dominant defensive lineman whose combination of size and athleticism overwhelmed opponents at Paramus Catholic. Together, the former high school teammates give Michigan a fearsome defensive foundation. Every move Peppers makes draws attention from fans and scouts alike.
