Jabrill Peppers praised by Michigan DC Durkin

Michigan Wolverines defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin was tight-lipped about a good number of subjects this week when he met with the media, but he didn't mind bragging about Jabrill Peppers when the redshirt freshman's name came up. 

"He brings it every day," Durkin told reporters (via transcript from MGoBlog). "He's one of the hardest workers on the team and he's very talented." 

Peppers was a five-star standout at Paramus Catholic in New Jersey two years ago and arrived in Ann Arbor amid much fanfare. He began his Wolverines career as a cornerback but was injured early in the season and ended up taking a medical redshirt. 

The new coaching staff moved him to safety in the spring, but he might not be limited to just one position. 

"There's a lot of things he can do to help our team," Durkin said. "It's a matter of us figuring out where we need him most and where the best spots are for him to help us. But he's been great. He's been practicing every day and doing a great job.”
