Former five-star recruit Jabrill Peppers did a little bit of everything during Michigan's three-loss season. After playing on both sides of the ball, the Wolverines will play him at linebacker during spring practice.

From freep.com:

While Peppers was primarily lined up at safety last season, or at least listed as one, now there’s no confusion that the redshirt sophomore is a strong-side (SAM) linebacker, even at 208 pounds.

“We’ve got to give this guy a bunch of jobs,” [new Michigan DC Don] Brown said Tuesday after Michigan’s second spring practice at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., both which had him playing with the backers not in the secondary. “He’s a dynamic athlete and we’ll keep him around the line of scrimmage and let him do a bunch of stuff. Whether it’s cover, whether in certain personnel groups, play linebacker, tight stuff. Our SAM’s kind of a hybrid.”

We'll see if it holds through the fall, but Michigan undoubtedly needs more speed at the position. Anybody who disagrees is welcome to watch The Game 2015.
