commitment profile Film Evaluation Strengths: Bunting has very good hands. He shows the ability to adjust to a poorly thrown ball and make the catch. He also does a nice job of getting up field quickly to gain those north-south yards. Bunting has good speed and great length when the ball arrives, and he is not afraid to catch the ball in traffic. His quarterback has the luxury of placing the ball up high and away from the defender because Bunting's arm span creates massive mismatches. Areas Of Improvement: Effective blocking skills are a requirement at Michigan, and Bunting's film does not show any of his blocking techniques. He will have to display good blocking ability and a desire to block opponents in order to help Michigan win championships. Michigan Player Comparison: Mark Campbell played a vital role on Michigan's great 1997 national championship team in the middle of his career from 1995‑98 and went on to have an impressive 10-year NFL career. Bunting has similar receiving ability, and he can develop his blocking to reach the heights Campbell did. — Analysis by former U-M All-Big Ten offensive lineman Doug Skene
