Michigan Walk On Switch

As you might remember back earlier this year Michigan and OSU were in pursuit of a walk on offensive line prospect from IL named Graham Glasgow.  He picked OSU and that was that.  I guess it wasn't it.  
Graham showed up on Michigan's Media guide roster as a walk-on.  What happened here?  TomVH reports he changed his mind back in June and nobody seemed to have picked up on it.   What a great pick up for the Wolverines, this young man is 6'6 316 pounds.  The reason he wasn't highly recruited was because he was more of a basketball player then football.  He decided he wanted to play football and a number of big programs were looking at him as a walk on prospect.   He has strong academics and could be a nice addition to the offensive line in future years. 

(I guess this would be a reverse Justin Boren, who left Michigan to walk on to Ohio State)

Other Michigan Walk On info:

  • Gary Yarden's commitment was highlighted here in a former (small) post.
  • Joey Kerridge is a FB walk on from Traverse City.  He is 6'0 239 pounds.  Since Michigan is looking for a true FB Joey might have a great chance to see the field faster then some of the other walk-ons.
  • Dallas Williams played at Huron and is 6'3 312 pounds but I really don't have much more information on him.  He did have 3 tackles in the Pioneer game this year.
