Michigan got somewhat of a surprise recruit on Sunday night. Tyrece Woods a 6'2, 255 pound three star DE from Belleville committed to the Wolverines for the 2019 class. As Tiger Woods was climbing up the leaderboard at the PGA on Sunday, Tyrece Woods was planning on committing to the Wolverines.
What's interesting is that Tyrece was a camp offer. Meaning, prior to his Michigan offer he wasn't considered a blue chip recruit. His offer list included the likes of Air Force, Fresno State, MAC Schools, Cincinnati, and a couple of Ivy Leagues schools.
Why are camp offers so important? It's because the coaches are able to coach the kids and see their talent first hand vs. watching an internet highlight tape. Steve Wiltfong reports that Tyrece ran a 4.65 in the 40, a 4.22 shuttle, benched 225 26 times, and squatted 500 lbs. So yes, he might be undersized right now for the DL and is under recruited, but the kid is an athlete and the Michigan coaches loved what they saw in him.
As we know, Belleville is loaded this year and also has two highly rated guys heading to MSU. Tyrece as been at Detroit King but transferred to Belleville this summer.
- An update to the Jordan Sneaker-gate investigation: Michigan labels each athlete's shoes with their name and number making re-sell much harder. They also have to sign a document, saying they are aware if they sell their gear, they could lose their scholarship. Insiders believe that the Michigan shoes that are available for resell today came from former players or staff members. Which is good news and shouldn't effect the status of any current player.
- Former Michigan DC DJ Durkin has been put on administrative leave after ESPN reported of a toxic environment in his Maryland program, after the death of his former player Jordan McNair. That now makes two Big Ten East coaches on administrative leave with 3 weeks left before the season starts.
- The Big Ten Network, will do their regular Ann Arbor camp visit today. So keep an eye on twitter for updates.
