Well, you people did a nice job of predicting Michigan's captains for the upcoming season. On Sunday it was announced that Denard Robinson and Jordan Kovacs would be named captain.
Back in June,
91% of you voted for Robinson. I never posted the results for the defensive poll, but 86% of you voted for Kovacs.
Last year's captains were tight end Kevin Koger, defensive tackle Mike Martin, and center David Molk. The last quarterback to be named captain was
Tom Brady in 1999 John Navarre in 2003. The last safety to be named captain was Corwin Brown in 1992, although Marlin Jackson (2004) played some safety throughout his career.
When is the last time if it ever happened, that a walk-on became Captain? Nice story.
ReplyDeleteThe last time it happened was Eric Mayes in 1997.
DeleteI think Mark Moundros (2010) was a walk-on. Also, Navarre was a captain in 2003.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Moundros, and I missed Navarre as I was looking back at captains. Thanks.
DeleteAre these our shortest captains ever?
