Analyst: Aidan Hutchinson Is 'The Best Player In College Football' So Far

Michigan Wolverines football junior defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was one of 24 players to land on ESPN.com's midseason All-America team, but now he's received even more praise, with PFF analyst Anthony Treash naming him the top defensive lineman and overall defensive player through the first half of the season. Hutchinson has accumulated 24 tackles, six stops for loss, 5.5 sacks (ninth nationally), three quarterback hurries and one forced fumble, leading a Wolverines' defense that ranks ninth nationally in scoring defense (15.5 points per game) and 23rd in total defense (310 yards per contest). "The term 'unblockable' is often thrown around loosely, but it certainly applies with Hutchinson," Treash raved.
