This trajectory mirrors that of Josaiah Stewart, who transferred to Michigan from Coastal Carolina and quickly became a standout defensive player. Stewart’s journey from a successful stint at Coastal Carolina to a key role in Michigan’s defense underscores the program’s ability to develop talent and elevate players to new heights.
