COMMITMENT PROFILE
to a championship in each, but those
leagues aren't renowned for featuring
a high level of talent.
"Right now, it's tough to say how
he'll adjust because of the competition
level," Friedman admitted. "He's one
of the best players on the field in ev-
ery game, regardless of the team he's
facing. They don't play great competi-
tion. He'll have to adjust to the speed,
and won't be able to break as many
big runs.
"He's going to have to learn to
grind it out a bit more — he'll pick up
big chunks of yardage, but his long
speed down the field more than 20
yards is going to be tested. He's not
an absolute burner."
While there will be an adjustment
period necessary for Dillon, that's
a challenge he's ready to face head
on. Joined by three-star Georgia back
Kurt Taylor and four-star New Mex-
ico standout O'Maury Samuels in the
class, he'll certainly have to prove
himself to get ahead of his classmates
— to say nothing of those who will
already be on the roster when he ar-
rives at U-M.
"Coach Wheatley and I had a really
great conversation on my visit," Dil-
lon said. "No school is just going to
have one running back on the depth
chart. If schools did that they'd be in
trouble. Coach Wheatley played at
Michigan and in the NFL so he knows
what it takes to develop young men
and young running backs."
That's just the type of coach — and
program — necessary for Dillon to
thrive.
