among a pair of tackles for loss, with one interception, three passes bro - ken up, one quarterback hurry and a forced fumble. The fif th-year senior earned the 2015 Roger Zatkoff Award as Michi- gan's best linebacker. He also re - corded a team-high eight tackles in Michigan's near-miss against Michi- gan State this season. He finished his career with exactly 300 tackles in 50 games played, with 3.5 sacks among 16 tack les for loss, t wo intercep - tions, nine passes broken up, a pair of forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. 21. ERIK MAGNUSON Redshirt Junior, OT Magnuson garnered some recogni- tion for his effor ts in offensive line coach Tim Drevno's first season in Ann Arbor, earning third-team All-Big Ten notice from both the coaches and me- dia. He started all 13 Michigan games and has now notched 25 starts in his career. A versatile performer, Magnuson has started at both guard and tackle over the course of his four seasons in Ann Arbor. He became a fixture at right tackle this season, and he could either remain there as a fifth-year senior in 2016 or make a move elsewhere to strengthen the line overall. 22. DYMONTE THOMAS Junior, S Thomas started five games for the Wolverines in 2015, and the fleet- footed safety has positioned himself well for his senior season in a Michi- gan uniform. He's another that could grab an open safety spot in 2016 or perhaps play a hybrid linebacker role in Brown's scheme. This year, Thomas notched 24 tack- les and broke up seven passes, good for third on the team. He also posted one quarterback hurry and proved to be a dependable special teams per- former. 23. ROYCE JENKINS-STONE Senior, LB Jenk ins-Stone fashioned his best year for the Wolverines in his final season in maize and blue. He played in all 13 games, recording three sacks among six tack les for loss and 40 overall stops. The senior finished up his four-year M ichigan career per forming in 25 games, with 48 overall tackles, includ- ing the three sacks and six tackles for loss, along with one forced fumble. He stepped up when linebacker Mario Ojemudia suffered a season-ending injur y, becoming a mainstay in the Michigan lineup. 24. JEREMY CLARK Redshirt Junior, CB Clark stepped up to handle the side of the field Lewis didn't patrol, per- forming in all 13 Michigan games and starting six. He recorded 21 tackles this season but did some of his best work when the ball was in the air. The cornerback led the Wolverines with three interceptions this season, as well as posting three passes bro- ken up. He notched an interception in the opening game against Utah and also in Michigan's shutout victory at Maryland.
