This his a huge commitment for Wolverines and a solid 4 star corner to all 3 services. Here is his write up from the Army All American game: Countess has the smooth hips and backpedal ability to be the prototypical cover corner. Despite his size, he loves to hit and is strong enough to jam a receiver at the line or come up and assist in run support. Countess has the speed to stay with receivers in man-to-man coverage and has an advanced understanding of zone defenses. Countess’ speed is also an asset in the return game.
Countess is an intelligent player who does a great job of reading the quarterback’s eyes. He throws his weight around, playing aggressive against the run and displaying excellence in bump-and-run coverage. Countess is superb at quickly diagnosing run versus pass plays.
Blake is 5'10 and 171 pounds and a huge pick up after the loss of Avery Walls. Michigan seems to be gaining some ground on the recruiting trail with this huge pick up and both instate CB's Raymon Taylor and Valdez Showers at practice on Saturday.
This is the 13th 2011 verbal commitment for the Wolverines. Which should leave 7 more spots available.

Wow! This one is huge. Now can he talk his BIGGER buddies into coming on board, like a couple of DT and maybe a safety or two.
Love the new commits and how this recruiting puzzle is starting to look better.
My question is, why aren't we looking at Teddy Bridgewater, Hurricanes decommit? He has all skill level we need to play qb in our system. If not bridgewater, then who are we looking at?
I right now do not see any QB commits on the horizon. With Devin getting a redshirt this year it's going to be hard to convince a top guy to come here. I would like to get a solid 3 star QB guy with a big upside and get one more WR to replace Conway and the rest on Defense. We need some DT's for sure! I will also take as many 4 star DB's that want to come here as well.
