Cameron Brandt is poised to break out as Michigan’s veteran edge setter
Brandt enters the 2026 season as a senior, 6-4, 270-pound defensive end who has steadily earned a bigger role at Michigan, with reports projecting him as a starter after appearing in 40 games and producing 39 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks through his career. He’s valued for his size, play strength, motor, and reliability rather than flashy burst, and the buzz around him is simple: he looks like a sturdy, experienced fit if your team wants a tough, high-floor edge defender who can hold the edge and keep coming.
