Welcome aboard! I wonder what role the coaches see him playing. We’ve picked up a lot of these smaller WRs recently so it may take a while for him to break through for playing time on the field.

Thanks for posting this.

 

He's a very exciting player. He's got hands. He's got wheels. He gets open. He definitely doesn't go down on first contact. He hangs onto the ball on hard hits. And he tries hard on blocks. Every time there's a shorter player with hands, they always say he's the next Wayne Chrebet/Wes Welker. And none have panned out like them yet. It could pan out with this player.

Yea, ok. 5'8 160lbs with a 4.75 40 time. Burner. Physical specimen.

Would love for this kid to beat the odds and be even Ronnie Bell good, but for now this is Harbaugh nepotism at it's finest.

And cockeyed optimism on your part. Either that, or really good trolling ?‍♂️

Nobody does nepotism better in college football than Harbaugh’s Michigan program. Parents and former prep coaches can become coaches or secretaries. Coaches kids can get a scholarship and the siblings of current players can also get a scholarship. I wonder if  Ryan Day also does this?

You don’t really believe that he had a commitable scholarship offer from OSU, right? All four of their wr recruits are ranked inside the top 100 overall. If the kid can play, who cares if OSU offered a scholarship or not? If you have a scholarship open up now, it’s too late to go after any highly sought after prospects, so why not take a shot on a guy who can play but doesn’t have the measurables? - It does make me wonder why the staff didn’t go after Cameron Martinez when he didn’t sign with OSU in December. Maybe they did, but if so, I never heard about it. It seems like if you’re going to take a chance on someone, the Michigan POY would be worth a shot.
