INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS Getting To Know Redshirt Junior Wide Receiver Jehu Chesson Coach Jim Harbaugh has spoken highly of several of his players, but none seem to get him as fired up as redshirt junior wide receiver Jehu Chesson. Whether it is because of his willingness and ability to block, get behind a defense or hurt op- ponents on jet sweeps and reverses, Ches- son has become a coach's dream. Through seven games, Chesson has six carries for 113 yards and two touchdowns, and 17 catches for 190 yards. Nickname: "It's just Jay."
