Why Gedeon Chose Michigan: ���I liked Michigan more than the others because of the combination of academics, coaching and tradition none of the other schools had.

I believe in what they are trying to do there, and they definitely did a great job recruiting me.��� Head Coach���s Comments: ���Ben catches on quickly ��� you don���t have to repeat anything over and over,��� Hudson head coach Ron Wright said. ���Whatever I or our coordinator might say, he just does it. He understands the game, has been around long enough to grasp the little nuances of the game that a kid who hasn���t been around wouldn���t know. He plays with a fervor, like you want the game to be played. He���s tough, and he plays to win.���
