He was committed to MSU for several months because he wanted to play basketball, but he opened up his recruitment to concentrate more on football.

He had 91 receptions for 2,015 yards and 25 touchdowns as a junior in 2012.
Daniel Helm - TE - Chatham (IL) Glenwood: Helm is a 6'4", 220 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech.

Malik McDowell - DE - Detroit (MI) Loyola: McDowell has been discussed non-stop on Michigan boards. He's that 6'7", 290 lb. guy who has offers from everyone and visits Michigan a lot.
A.J. Mial - CB - Detroit (MI) Country Day: Mial is a 5'9", 170 lb. prospect who claims a 4.68 forty. He's a 2014 prospect with no offers at this time.

Prince Onwenu - LB - Walled Lake (MI) Central: Onwenu is a 5'11", 195 lb. prospect for 2015 with no offers at this time. He plays defensive end in high school, but at his size, he's more likely to become a contributor as a linebacker.
Trevor Ruhland - OG - Cary (IL) Cary-Grove: Ruhland is a 6'4", 270 lb. prospect for the class of 2015 with no offers at this time. He plays with good body lean and has a nasty disposition, and I think he'll eventually be a fairly highly regarded prospect.

Artavis Scott - WR - Tarpon Springs (FL) East Lake: Scott is a 5'11", 175 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Oregon, among others.

Ted Stieber - OG - Akron (OH) Archbishop Hoban: Stieber is a 6'6", 285 lb. prospect for 2015 with no offers at this time. He looks a little bit slow of foot and while he has the size to play tackle, he might be a better fit at guard or perhaps at right tackle.

He's the former teammate of incoming freshman Shane Morris, the son of former Michigan quarterback John Wangler, and the brother of incoming freshman walk-on Jack Wangler. As a junior in 2012, Jared had 76 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1 interception.

He had 51 catches for 957 yards and 9 touchdowns as a junior in 2012.

According to the 247 Composite rankings, he's a 3-star, the #45 outside linebacker, and the #592 player overall.
Is Campbell's visit confirmed? I thought he was taking an unofficial to Vandy this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI believe Rivals confirmed it.
DeleteI thought Campbell was 6'5"?
ReplyDeleteThat was an exaggeration. He measured in at 6'3" in January.
Deletemight want to put Speight,Ferns as committed also
ReplyDeleteThank you, Captain Obvious.
DeleteWhat do you think of Jared Wangler? Scholarship caliber?
ReplyDeleteI think he's better than his older brother Jack, but I don't think he's a scholarship-caliber player for the level Michigan is recruiting right now.
DeleteThese height exaggerations are really funny. I am 6 3 and my brother is 6 5. It is a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteAny idea why Winovich isn't rated higher? He runs like a free safety, has a nose for the ball and a good frame to add weight. He looks like he has a ton of potential to play SLB.
ReplyDeleteThere are some things to like about Winovich (speed, change of direction, etc.), but I think there are also some questions about him. He's very thin, so it's unclear how much some added weight will affect him. He also needs to be more physical, which might come with added size/strength. He has some obvious technique issues when taking on blockers. And he sometimes takes a meandering path to the ball carrier. Perhaps he should be rated a little higher, but probably not a whole lot.
DeleteIf they only take one, who do you like out of the likely three of Booker, Yeargin and Winovich>
ReplyDeleteWinovich by the way, going back to prior conversations looks a lot more like 205 maybe 195 than he does 215.
I still like his wheels and instincts.
Add Furbush to that list as well.
DeleteI'm also curious who you like the best of these guys. I'm partial to the kid from E. St. Louis. Also, I'm assuming the Dante Booker ship has sailed for OSU, or does he not play OLB?
I like Yeargin the best out of those guys if we're looking for a SAM. Booker is more of a MIKE, and so is Kyron Watson. I'm not sure how many linebackers OSU wants or what positions they want them for, but I haven't heard that Booker is off the table, so I would expect them to continue to look at him as an ILB.
DeleteCampbell is a Vandy this weekend... His sister attends school there!

ReplyDeleteSpoke with one of my Best Friends from High School (Nate Latsch of StlHighschoolSports.com and beat writer for StlToday) regarding Kyron Watson today... He had great things to say about his game, but did say he that unless he's grown drastically in the last 3 months (highly doubted) that he is somewhere around 6'0" and just under 200lbs. He stated, one of the biggest hitters he's seen in person, but more of a SS prospect than a Sam LB. He plays LB out of necessity at ESL high school and 2012 was his first season at the position.
Feel free to follow Nate regarding all St Louis area football prospects via twitter (@NateLatsch).
I think Watson is a little too thick and a little too slow to actually play strong safety. He's probably more of a weakside linebacker, or maybe a MIKE if he hits a little bit of a growth spurt.
