Michigan Tuesday: Jimmy Gets His 2017 QB

News has been pretty slow over the holiday weekend.  Michigan Basketball had a nice home win over Purdue and Jimmy was playing in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.    Woodson is also reportedly replacing Keyson Johnson on ESPN's NFL Countdown.   Pretty normal boring stuff in the off season.  

Then the news broke last night that Michigan pulled in a huge 2017 recruit in QB Dylan McCaffrey.  The services are a bit scattered on the Dylan's size and whether he is a pro style or dual-threat QB.  Rivals has him at the #6 Dual Threat and 114th overall prospect.  Rivals has him at 6'4 and 185 pounds. 

24/7 has him as the #2 pro-style QB and at 6'5 200 pounds.  He is ranked as the #47th ranked prospect in the country. 

Scouts has him as the #3 QB overall and at 6'4.5 195 pounds.  He is ranked as the 39th player in the 2017 class.

All the services rank this talented QB with 4 stars. 

This is a talented football family, McCaffrey is the son of former NFL wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl champion Ed McCaffrey. His brother, Christian, was the  Heisman runner-up for Stanford and maybe the best athlete in college football.  Dylan also has another brother that plays for Duke. 

This was Jimmy's top QB on this board and a huge pick-up.   Getting a top flight QB this early should help pull in a bunch of big time skill players on offense.   If Dylan has a good camp circuit this summer and senior year, I expect he will be a 5 star QB before signing day. 

Duke, Stanford and Michigan, I bet daddy is happy that his kids earned scholarships!

Side note: This is the second year in a row, Michigan has pulled the top player out of Colorado.
