2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE regrets heading into college, though, so I went on my official to Notre Dame. "Everything about Michigan stood out to me. I've built a great rela- tionship with Coach Harbaugh and Coach Fisch. The players, when I went down there, I felt comfortable around them too." Finally, it wouldn't be right to dis- cuss wide receiver and speed without mentioning the state of Florida. Mc- Doom is a 6-0, 182-pound speedster with personal bests of 10.85 in the 100-meter dash, 21.72 in the 200-me- ter dash and 48.42 in the 400-meter race. The speed is obvious, but West Or- ange head coach Bob Head said that McDoom's intangibles might be his strongest attributes. "Eddie is one of the hardest work- ers I ever have coached," Head said. "He is electric on the field, extremely tough and a hard worker. Eddie makes everyone around him better and is a prime-time player. He comes to play every day and is a fierce com- petitor." It won't be long before Michigan fans see these six commits on the field inside Michigan Stadium making plays. The group blends size, speed, athleticism, work ethic and inroads into talent-laden areas that will make the 2016 class one to remember. ❏ Camden (N.J.) High product Brad Hawkins Jr., the No. 53 wide receiver and No. 235 overall prospect nationally according to Rivals.com, was one of six pass catchers signed by the Wolverines. PHOTO BY TIM SULLIVAN
