Summary
- Michigan's running-back room projects as one of the team's strongest units when healthy, with a healthy floor estimated around the third- or fourth-best backfield in the conference.
- The downside is concentrated in depth: injuries to the top two backs could quickly turn the position from a strength into a weakness.
- Both Marshall and Hider were described as capable of reaching high ceilings, while Hider has emphasized adding contact balance and finish to his speed and elusiveness.
