Michigan linebacker Obi Ezeh hauls down UConn running back Robbie Frey just short of the first-down marker on a crucial fourth down play. Lon Horwedel | AnnArbor.com Obi Ezeh considers himself his toughest critic and seldom requires external motivation. If he does need any help, the Michigan football team's career ...
Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez, running back Michael Shaw and linebacker Obi Ezeh were asked to look ahead to the Wolverines' game at Notre Dame during Monday's press conference. Here are some highlights:
By his own admission, Michigan linebacker Obi Ezeh is coming off a “mediocre” junior season. “It wasn’t my best year, obviously,” Ezeh said after the Wolverines’ April 17 spring game. “That’s in the past and try to move on and build a better future. I got to prove to people ...
Obi Ezeh, shown in August 2009, is impressing Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez. "I think he’s probably had, at least since we’ve been here, his best off-season workout,” Rodriguez said. (File photo)Michigan’s defense was abysmal last year, allowing the second-most points in school history. One position especially under the microscope this ...
Iowa’s Tony Moeaki and Penn State’s Andrew Quarless had their way with Michigan’s defense, and if the Wolverines aren’t careful Wisconsin’s Garrett Graham might, too.
Kevin Leach did enough in his first start at middle linebacker last week against Illinois to earn another this weekend against Purdue. Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said Wednesday that Leach remains first-team for now, but he praised junior Obi Ezeh for responding well to his demotion.
Michigan didn't have a player taken on the first day of the NFL draft last year for just the second time this decade, but defensive end Brandon Graham continues to solidify his status as a likely high-round pick. Graham, who leads the Big Ten with 10 1/2 tackles for loss ...

The past 12 months haven't been the easiest for Michigan linebacker Obi Ezeh. Having to endure last year's 3-9 season was tough enough. But a 35-21 loss to in-state rival Michigan State last fall brought its own share of headaches for the Wolverines' active career leader in tackles.
Obi Ezeh still remembers the day he swore off wearing green and white as a color combination. Six years ago, as a budding 15-year-old linebacker at Grand Rapids Catholic Central High, Ezeh was attending his first Michigan football camp when then-coach Lloyd Carr came over and introduced himself during the ...
Michigan linebacker Obi Ezeh heard suggestions this off-season that Michigan State was the new No. 1 football program in the state. "I don't even know why anybody would think that," Ezeh said. “Obviously, if that’s what they think. They had a good season last year, so if they got some ...
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - One text message has already come through this week, and it was from Michigan safety Troy Woolfolk, arriving in the cell phone of Notre Dame running back Jonas Gray. It wasn't just to say hi.
Speaking in an emotional press conference six days before he begins his second football season at Michigan, coach Rich Rodriguez said Monday that neither he nor his assistant coaches have ever broken NCAA rules. “We know the rules, and we comply with the rules,” he said.
