While comparisons to past legends like Will Johnson are premature, his growth, film study, and leadership from veteran teammates signal he’s more than just a backup. With Jernaro Gilford calling him a starter in waiting, Earls might just be the depth Michigan needed to turn its secondary into a championship-caliber unit.
