Michigan has new-look secondary following quartet of transfer additions

FOX Sports' Michael Cohen analyzes the state of Michigan's secondary after the Wolverines added four defensive backs from the transfer portal.

Sometime after his appointment as Michigan's new defensive coordinator, Don 'Wink' Martindale placed a phone call to one of his former players during a meeting at Schembechler Hall. Martindale, then 60, had spent a decade with the Baltimore Ravens from 2012-21, learning and refining the scheme that two of his pupils, Mike Macdonald and Jesse Minter, would later imprint upon the Wolverines with enormous success.

Walker and Mangham, the new safeties, will likely battle with Paige and graduate student Quinten Johnson for snaps on the back end of Martindale's defense. Another candidate at safety is rising junior Zeke Berry, who flashed at times last season and took significant steps forward this spring. Berry is also in the running to replace Sainristil at nickel.
