Good kid, was bummed to see him go-he was great his Sophomore year but struggled pretty badly last year for a bit (probably a change in defensive systems-Michigan ran more zone his All Big-Ten year, and wanted to do more Man/Pressure coverage last year which he wasn't as successful at). I'm pretty certain Harbaugh/Durkin want to stick with Man/Press, so maybe that's why he went elsewhere.

If Auburn runs zone a lot he could be successful, but could also do damage as a nickel if the Tigers already have a couple of strong options at the corners. I do wish him well, kid was a hard worker.
