Kyle Whittingham is bringing one of Utah's top players with him to Michigan in edge rusher John Henry Daley.

The redshirt junior, who announced the move Thursday, was an absolute menace for Whittingham's defense in Salt Lake City, posting 11.5 sacks in 11 games this season.

Only five players in the country registered more sacks than Daley, with each of them appearing in more contests.

Daley, who was ranked by 247 Sports as the ninth-best pass-rusher in the transfer portal, should immediately boost a Wolverines defense that ranked 54th nationally in sacks.
