Obviously good news for DL

Great news, but I have a question: Is Jenkins the go getter?
December 29th, 2022 at 2:47 PM ^
Alejandro Zuniga is (he was shouted out by Harbaugh as such at his initial press conference). He also happens to be the son of one of my professors at Albion.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
Getting called a go getter by Harbaugh is quite a compliment
December 29th, 2022 at 3:28 PM ^
Any relation to Daphne Zuniga? Asking for everyone over 40.
December 29th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
There's a time and a place for spontaneity.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:45 PM ^
There's just something about this kid....Makes plays and always seems to have a smile on his face. Definitely outplaying his 3-star evaluation.

Incidentally Woodley, phenomenal OP on the meme generator with stroud. Great work also on your own Memes.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:46 PM ^
What does go getter mean in this context?
“Michigan DL Kris Jenkins tells me he will return to the program next year. “For sure,” he told me. “I love this place.”
December 29th, 2022 at 2:47 PM ^
The "Me": Alejandro Zuniga
December 29th, 2022 at 2:46 PM ^
This bodes well for keeping the Minter-half defense humming next year.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
Sophomore leaps for Derrick Moore and Mason Graham could lead to a dominant line with Jenkins back.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:50 PM ^
Graham is pretty much there already.
December 29th, 2022 at 3:04 PM ^
That was his freshman leap, I'm talking about his sophomore leap!
December 29th, 2022 at 3:16 PM ^
So a hybrid of Aaron Donald/Suh without the shit head stuff? Sign me up!
December 29th, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
And don't forget about freshman Kenneth Grant. He's no slouch either. Okie, McGregor, and the transfer from C. Carolina will add to the waves of guys we can put in.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:49 PM ^
this was likely part of rooks decision along with the emergence of true freshman DTs too.
December 29th, 2022 at 2:51 PM ^
Great news! I was hoping Brandt didn't signal Jenkins was leaving. This would be huge!
December 29th, 2022 at 3:01 PM ^
Great news, Go Blue!!
December 29th, 2022 at 3:04 PM ^
Huge news. He’s a stud and will likely be a captain alongside Sainristil. The D-line, even with the losses of Mazi and Morris, has a legitimate chance to be even better next season. As does the defense as a whole and the entire team. We’re in the midst of one of the greatest stretches of Michigan football in the modern era. Enjoy it folks.
December 29th, 2022 at 3:36 PM ^
Great
December 29th, 2022 at 3:43 PM ^
There’s every reason to think the 2023 team could be better than 2021 and 2022.
December 29th, 2022 at 3:54 PM ^
Now they need to seal the deal with Jamel Howard and this Dline is ridiculously well stocked
December 29th, 2022 at 3:56 PM ^
This wasn't even on my radar honestly. In my mind I was thinking he was a sophomore. I guess he's a RS soph so he could've gone but I didn't even think he was on NFL radars yet
December 29th, 2022 at 5:03 PM ^
Dude.... nice
December 29th, 2022 at 5:11 PM ^
This is massive news. He will be the best returning defensive player if he comes back in 2023 and will provide some excellent depth to our Dline. Very interesting how Minter talked about the reason for our 2nd half success this year is because of our depth and how many guys we are able to play. Go Blue!
December 29th, 2022 at 5:16 PM ^
It is great news, but I think he has some competition for best returning player. Will Johnson for instance.
December 29th, 2022 at 5:58 PM ^
Don't forget Mighty Mike Sainristil
December 29th, 2022 at 5:58 PM ^
Big. Literally and figuratively
December 29th, 2022 at 7:30 PM ^
Great news. Thanks !
December 29th, 2022 at 7:48 PM ^
Coach talking about the go-getter
December 29th, 2022 at 7:56 PM ^
Thanks guys!
December 29th, 2022 at 10:13 PM ^
Keep goin and keep gettin, AZ

I knew his dad Kris and uncle Cullen were long time NFL guys, but I didn’t realize for a while that they were from Michigan and attended Belleville. I wonder if they still had family out this way and if that had any impact on his recruitment. Either way, what a pickup.
December 29th, 2022 at 11:02 PM ^
All-America in 2023. Kris will add 10-15 pounds (supposedly 20 lbs last year) and manhandle most guards and tackles. Close to Suh over a final season.
December 29th, 2022 at 11:30 PM ^
I wonder what his best playing weight is though and what Michigan is looking for?
Does Graham steps into Mazi’s role with Grant getting Graham’s snaps?
Anchor: McGregor, Moore
NT: Graham, Grant
DT: Jenkins, Benny
WDE: Harrell, Okie, Stewart
Apologies if I don’t know my terminology or football in general, but I imagine that these are the 2-deep contributors next year. We should be able to rotate a lot of bodies and keep the boys fresh again.
The exciting thing is that all of these guys have so much room for growth yet too. Another offseason with Herbert could pay huge dividends.
