Reliable Michigan DB with veteran instincts and team-first value
Courtney Avery was a steady, multi-year contributor for Michigan, appearing in 50 games and making 19 starts as a defensive back; he also showed playmaking upside with a school-record 83-yard fumble return touchdown and earned academic recognition for a 3.20 GPA. His value is less about headline-grabbing ball production and more about reliability, versatility, and high football IQ—traits coaches can trust in a competitive secondary. He’s a good fit for a team that wants a disciplined, experienced corner who brings toughness, consistency, and professionalism to the room.[4][5][7]
