Wolverine Wednesday: Is Big Mo The Best Defensive Player in the Country?

Pro Football Focus thinks so and has an article up on the theWolverine.com.  Here's some highlights about Big Mo Hurst from the article:


“Maurice Hurst is probably the best player in the country regardless of position right now,” PFF Analyst Josh Liskiewitz said. “There’s no other way to put it at this point.”


“He’s just dominant in every single phase,” Liskiewitz said. “He reminds me of Gerald McCoy when he was at Oklahoma in that he’s just completely unblockable up front. Explosive first step and guys just can’t stay with him.”


Michigan State senior center Brian Allen is one of PFF’s highest rated centers in the nation, and Liskiewitz said Hurst “chewed him up and spit him out.”


“I would be stunned at this point if he wasn’t a top 15 pick,” Liskiewitz said. “When we do our next batch of top 32 draft prospects, he’s probably going to be No. 1 overall. Especially considering the quarterback play has been a disappointment throughout the country.”
At worst, he said he’d be top five in those rankings next week.


“Maurice Hurst has been as dominant as any player in the country at his position,” Liskiewitz said. “That’s a premium position as far as the NFL is considered. Solomon Thomas is nothing compared to Maurice Hurst, and he went No. 3 overall last year.”


I can't believe the accolades about Mo in this article.  There is more but I didn't want to past the entire article.  Check it out. 


  • 2019 5 star commit Chris Hinton and his 2020 class brother Myles will visit Ann Arbor on October 28th for the Rutgers game.


  • Update on announcement: 2018 Missouri City (Tex.) 4-star TE Mustapha Muhammad will announce at 6:30 on Friday at his school.  (7:30 EST)


  • Michigan sees something they like in 2018 3 star RB Hassan Haskins, he was just offered and his other offers were highlighted by the likes of Purdue and Memphis.   Hassan is expected to visit soon, I believe for the Rutgers game.  He will be on commit watch while in Ann Arbor for sure.

If so, what kind of consideration will he get for the Heisman? Probably none.

I wander if Big Mo can play quarterback...

Man.... I don't know. Chase is gotta get serious consideration. On any play he isn't getting the tackle, he's the 2nd guy on the pile. I have never seen a DE making so many tackles 5+ yards from scrimmage.
