Rocco Milia brings veteran versatility and takeaway chops to Michigan’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Rocco Milia arrived at Michigan as a 6-2, 225-pound graduate-transfer linebacker after a productive Columbia run, where he piled up 114 career tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, one sack, 16 pass breakups, four interceptions, and a fumble recovery. His differentiator is rare multi-year production in coverage and on the ball for a linebacker—he reads routes well, flashes ball skills, and has the kind of experience and maturity coaches love in a depth-and-special-teams piece. If you want a steady, disciplined, high-floor LB with sneaky playmaking juice, he fits the bill.
