Etta was a big get for Michigan in the 2023 class, and the Wolverines were lucky to hold on to him, too. While bookend pass rusher Collins Acheampong decommitted from Michigan for the Miami Hurricanes’ money cannon, Etta held fast despite being recruited by Miami and Acheampong to join him in Coral Gables. Etta ended the cycle ranked as a 4-star, the #13 defensive lineman, and #120 overall.
When Etta arrives this summer, he will have some catching up to do. He was pretty much a big fish in a small pond at Covenant Christian Academy, which is a mid-sized private school in Texas, and the competition there is not great. He looked like a man among boys, running past offensive tackles who clearly had no business trying to block him. Things are going to look a little different in college when he’s trying to get past 6’5″, 310 lb. offensive tackles instead of 6’2″, 230 lb. kids. So there’s going to be an uptick in competition, and Michigan already has a pretty solid foursome of Jaylen Harrell, Braiden McGregor, Josaiah Stewart, and Derrick Moore to man the edge rusher positions, not to mention a couple other competitors vying for playing time. I think Etta will get some chances to show his stuff, but while Moore developed into a decent player last season, I think we’re going to have to wait until at least 2024 to see that from Etta.
Prediction: Backup defensive end
