2009 Countdown: #78 Adrian Witty

True freshman cornerback Adrian Witty committed to Michigan on National Signing Day, along with prize recruit Denard Robinson. Despite being recognized as "the other guy from Deerfield Beach," Witty could potentially be an impact corner down the road. At 5'9" and 175 lbs., he's approximately the same size as Boubacar Cissoko was as a freshman last year.

Fortunately for Witty, there's a dearth of scholarship players in the defensive backfield. Unfortunately for Witty, he's probably still headed for a redshirt this year. He missed his junior year and a bit of his senior year due to a torn ACL. But he's a track star with decent ball skills who, in my opinion, will be an impact player at Michigan before his career is over. Whenever Donovan Warren departs, I think Witty could make a charge for the open cornerback spot.
