He was becoming an in- creasingly effective force in the middle of the Michigan defense and will now be rehabilitating to again battle on the front lines in 2016. 9. WILLIE HENRY Redshirt Junior, DT Henry is another of Michigan's fourth- year defensive linemen to fashion a strong 2015 season, emerging as a force up front. He recorded 34 tackles, tying for the team lead in sacks with 6.5 and posting 10 tackles for loss, second best among the Wolverines. Henry also broke up a pair of passes and managed three quarterback hur- ries. However, the big man announced on Jan. 13 that he would bypass his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft. 10. AMARA DARBOH Redshirt Junior, WR Darboh makes it three pass catchers in the top 10 on our list, all returning next fall. That's sure to put a smile on the face of whoever takes the reins behind center for the Wolverines. The wideout led Michigan with 58 receptions this season, posting 727 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He managed an average of 12.5 yards per catch, with a long reception of 39 yards on the year. With Butt and Ches- son on hand, Darboh will enjoy plenty of chances to enhance his honorable mention All-Big Ten status of 2015. 11. KENNY ALLEN Redshirt Junior, PK Allen moved from nearly anonymous walk-on to central figure for the Wol- verines this season. While fall camp re- ports involved some fretfulness about the placekicking, once the bright lights went on, Allen proved extremely reli- able. He even earned third-team All-Big Ten honors by the media. He knocked through 18 of 22 field goal attempts, with a long of 47. Three Redshirt junior Ryan Glasgow developed into a disruptive force at nose tackle, notch- ing 25 tackles, five stops behind the line of scrimmage and a sack in nine games before being sidelined by an injury.
