Michael Weber - RB - Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Weber is a 5'10", 205 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Tennessee, among others. He was considered to be Michigan lean until fellow 2015 running back Damien Harris committed to the Wolverines, which may not leave enough room in the class for Weber.
Funny, I went to middle school with Reese, he always talked about how much he wanted to go to Michigan State. His Dad was an OL at Michigan State.
ReplyDeleteWas he the best player on the middle school team?
DeletePlayed for some team in Detroit, never seen him play. He wasn't 6'1" in middle school, he was about 5'8", but weighed about 200 pounds (no joke). He picked me up one time with one arm, haha, he's strong.
DeleteC'sonte York is at safety?
ReplyDeleteWait, what?
DeleteWow, Malik McDowell is a big boy. Any chance he could switch over to OT?
ReplyDeleteNot trying to be rude, but who would actually want that?
DeleteWithout having looked at any of his vids, and just speaking generally, it wouldn't bother me in the least. In addition to being big, he's quick, mobile and has well thought of smarts. All of that points to a potential Blindside Tackle prospect as much or more as it does a 3/5 Tech defensive lineman.
DeleteAmong the several things we know for sure around here is that dominate LTs are a blessing, if this kid can potentially be that, Hell yeah!!!
As an aside, is Brady Pallante still a grey shirt recruit? I can't figure where they find the slot in either class.
DeleteThis is another kid that I haven't seen any video on, although do I know he's a helluva wrestler. But at 6' 270 or so, I keep thinking that he's gonna have to be the Dave Molk of Nose Tackles to get on the field competing with this crowd.
Anon -- here is my thinking...
DeleteWe are compiling an embarrassment of riches on the defensive line, even if we don't land DeShaun Hand. The measurables listed for this guy make it sounds as if OT could be a possibility. We got four good OT prospects in 2012-2013, but the two in 2013 have huge question marks. We got none in 2014, and we have a really small class in 2015.
Da'shawn*
DeleteI'm excited to see that Malik McDowell switches schools and in the 1st game of the season is taking an unofficial visit with the best player on the team he switched to who happens to be a Michigan commit (Lawrence Marshall obviously). Having Drake Harris and Moe Ways there can only help.
