Michigan’s steady, physical middle linebacker with proven production
In the 2012 season, Kenny Demens was a dependable, high-IQ anchor for Michigan’s defense, finishing his Wolverines career with 266 tackles and 46 starts, including a 13-tackle game against Wisconsin and seven double-digit tackle outings in 2011. He stood out for his size, leadership, and physical run support, with reports noting he could set the tone when healthy and was trusted as the defense’s veteran traffic-cop. If you want a linebacker who brings toughness, experience, and clear command of the middle, Demens is the kind of glue guy coaches love.
