Olu named semifinalist for Outland Trophy

He's been such a solid addition.  I hope he wins it this year.

Thanks for the update. Good luck to Olu.

Too bad about Schoooooooon.

Well Deserved.  He, and the rest of the OL, need to show out against those turd burglars down south to seal the deal.  What a pickup!

The Outland Trophy would be a nice way to cap off a college career. Good luck!

Steve 'not Aidan's uncle' Hutchinson was a finalist as well. His consolation prize was a very nice Pro career.

Stover isn't gonna win it anyway. It will be Brock Bowers or Michael Mayer

Outland would be awesome.  But if not, definitely the Rimington award for best center.  

A lineman trophy and Steve Hutchinson didn't win it should tell you all you need to know about how dumb their selection process is 

Can't spell "Outland" without O-L-U. 

Wow, that is shocking, we've never had an Outland winner.  Lewan was drafted quite high, surprised he wasn't a finalist.  But is it common for centers to win it, since they have their own Rimington trophy?  I would think they tend to give it to OT.

He should have quite a bit of hardware and accolades this year. Rimington probably is a given, he should be at the very least a finalist for the Outland, and a Consensus All-American (perhaps even Unanimous) should be expected.

The OL deserves all the accolades available.  I believe the OL is also a semi-finalist for the Moore award again this year.

One play, series, and game at a time.

Go Blue!

Michigan has never won the Outland? Outlandish!

but IS he the best transfer ever?

He should be a shoo-in for the Rimington, and I would think has a really good chance at the Outland.  The complexity at which this OL is operating without errors is incredible - and that falls mostly on the Center.  Tackles tend to get an inordinate amount of publicity, especially for an OL blocking for a really good pass game.  But centers are the lynchpin of anything an OL tries to do.

As for the Mackey, Schoon would have a much better shot if the entirety of TE play was considered.  However, Jake Butt would not have won his Mackey if that were the case.  So half a dozen in one hand, and six in the other...

And yet, the nfl draft talking heads have him way down on their lists, not just in the OL lists, but also specifically for center. Yeah, an outstanding OT is essential for a good nfl line, but I’d say the center position is really where everything starts and that even with two great OT’s, if you have an average center you are going to have an average line overall.

Olu is a great center that will likely start day one for whichever nfl team he goes to.

One might be hard-pressed to find a play who has so strongly impacted a team. 

Sad to think, because he deserves the award based upon the whole season. 

However, a loss to osu means likely he won't win. 

Luckily, we WILL WIN and he'll get this individual deserved award. 

Go Blue.

F Cade Stover.   Beat Ohio!

Olu has been an amazing player for Michigan.

Good luck to the kid!

Great news for Olu.  Cade stover is trash.

So someone who is smarter and better informed than I (shouldn't be difficult): what are our prospects for filling Oluwatimi's considerable vacancy after this season?

So annoying how the website will give you 0 indication your comment is posting as you sit and wait 30 seconds, you hit post again, and now you've double posted. 

Jake Long not winning is a real laugh

Reward the big fella!

A well-deserved honor to be on the short list. He has been fantastic for Michigan and would have my vote. 

An Olusegun Oluwatimi Outland will be Outstanding.

Even the Buckeyes are behind it.
