Name: Trey Pierce
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 315 lbs.
High school: Oak Lawn (IL) Brother Rice
Position: Defensive tackle
Class: Junior
Jersey number: #95
Last year: I ranked Pierce #39 and said he would be a backup nose tackle (LINK). He started one game and made 7 tackles.
TTB Rating: 79
Pierce once again spent a season mired in the shadow of Kenneth Grant and Mason Graham. He started one game, but for the most part, he was in a backup role. He played in all thirteen games and made 7 total tackles. Nothing really stood out about his play, but he wasn’t getting steamrolled, either.
This year with Grant and Graham gone, there’s more of an opportunity for Pierce. Michigan did bring in Damon Payne from Alabama and Tre Williams from Clemson, but they’re not on the same level as the departed players. Along with Rayshaun Benny, Enow Etta, and Ike Iwunnah, Michigan goes at least six-deep with playable tackles on the interior.
Prediction: Backup nose tackle
