Michigan’s steady, proven anchor in the middle
In the 2025 season, Trey Pierce started all 13 games for Michigan, logged 30 tackles with 1 tackle for loss, 10 quarterback pressures and 18 run stops, and he enters 2026 as a senior starter and one of the Wolverines’ most trusted interior defenders[3][7][13]. What makes him matter isn’t just the numbers: he’s been durable, physical, and consistently disruptive against the run, while also earning praise as a leader and one of Michigan’s most important players heading into 2026[1][3][9][14]. If you want a plug-and-play DL with proven Big Ten reps, Pierce fits the bill.
