The Associated Press released their annual All-America roster and the Michigan Wolverines are well represented. Devin Bush leads the way with a second-team selection followed by Chase Winovich and Lavert Hill at their respective positions. It should be no surprise that it is the defensive side of the ball bringing home All-America honors because, even though the season ended with a rough game, the Wolverines are still ranked first in total defense according to NCAA.com.

Devin Bush had a great year totaling 79 tackles including five sacks. He has yet to make a decision on whether or not he will return for his senior season but his tackling ability and sideline to sideline speed is surely something that has scouts at the next level excited.
