I think Michigan is going to start him out at inside linebacker, and he is a guy who can play sideline to sideline. He has great instincts and does a great job utilizing his time as far as film breakdown. ���This is a kid who is going to be well-versed in the schematic part of the game. Because Michael is such a smooth player, sometimes they think he isn���t working hard, but he just an athletic big guy who doesn���t look like he���s trying hard when he���s really trying.��� For regular reports on football recruiting, plus videos of all the top prospects in the nation and Michigan���s commitments, visit TheWolverine.com.
