Scouting Report: Chase Winovich

  • scouting report

This week's scouting report is on Clairton (PA) Thomas Jefferson linebacker Chase Winovich.  There seem to be some positive vibes about him as a potential Michigan commitment, although Ohio State and, to a lesser extent, Pitt are also options.  Michigan really needs some more options at the SAM position going forward.

Denard working out at QB for Jacksonville

By m1817 — May 15th, 2013 at 9:01 PM — 63 comments
Filed under:
  • MGoBoard
  • denard
  • football

The Jacksonville Jaguars had Denard lining up in the shotgun formation at QB during Wednesday's OTA practice.  Looks like his QB days are not over.  The last line of the article predicts that if Denard does well, he could be reclassified from RB to QB in the future.
