MICHIGAN RECRUITING sive lineman Cameron Whiteman, who has committed to Harvard) and Connecticut (New Canaan quarter- back Michael Collins) have all earned opportunities from U-M. So, too, have players from right in the Wolverines' backyard. In-state players like Grand Rapids Christian athlete/linebacker Tyler Lamica and Milford High School defensive tackle Jackson Hale are among the in-state preferred walk-on offers. Not much farther away, Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward offensive lineman Michael O'Malley has earned the honor — and could reunite with his former high school coach, U-M Director of Football Operations Rick Finotti, in Ann Arbor. Aside from those who have al- ready pledged, it's too early to tell who will realistically join the class. Many prospects are hoping their senior film earns them lower-level scholarship offers or they may be considering other non-scholarship options, whether preferred walk-on opportunities at BCS programs or a roster spot in the Ivy Leagues.
