Baker's comments:

“The big thing obviously being very early in camp, a week into it, but not really a live scrimmage, we’re still very much a work in progress - but at the same time I’m really encouraged by this unit,” Baker said. “We’ve been emphasizing running to the football and hitting when we get there. We’ll clean up the mistakes as camp goes on, but these guys are looking to compete. There’s a lot of competition. Every position almost is up for grabs. There’s a hunger among this group.”

There also could be some depth chart shakeup after tomorrow evening when UM holds its first fall scrimmage.
Baker also said “effort and tackling” will be the keys he’s looking for in scrimmage No. 1.

Jared Harrison-Hunte, Jalar Holley and Jason Blissett are youngsters standing out, and Jon Ford, Nesta Silvera and Jordan Miller are returners that are expected to take on the brunt of the load.

“Nobody at that position has locked down the starting role,” he said.

At linebacker BJ Jennings and Waynmon Steed are both practicing well, per Baker.

“They both look great,” Baker said. “Those two guys are playing their tails off, have been in this system a long time, have really matured from a mentality standpoint.

"I think they're going to surprise some people this year."

Baker also said in the secondary “it’s wide open” for starting spots. He singled out CB Christian Williams as doing well and said CB Te’Cory Couch is “having an outstanding camp.”

At the safety level, Baker said safety Bubba Bolden is doing well coming off the injury that shut him down last season.
