Wyatt Shallman

Part of MGoBlue's 'Amaizing Sounds' series. Pretty cool seeing and hearing Fred coaching and correcting different things

What an outstanding gesture of support by this young man. Who cares what Sherman said?

Hmmm, embed didn't work - here is the link:

Didn't see this on the blog from yesterday...

Nice article (paywalled) by Chantel yesterday on Wyatt Shallman. He appears to be quite the character (and high character) and also comes from a "talented" family...

RB/DE Wyatt Shallman
Novi (Mich.) Detroit Catholic Central, 6-3, 250, Class of 2013
CONSIDERING: Committed to Michigan.
PERFORMANCE: Eight tackles, two tackles for loss, two sacks and a forced fumble.
WHAT IMPRESSED: Shallman is being recruited to Michigan for offense, but he also plays defensive end for his high school team. Coming off a hamstring injury, Shallman has showed he is still a force, even if he's not 100 percent. -- Tom VanHaaren

Wyatt Shallman made the list for his defensive abilities.  It will be interesting to see what position he ends up at in college.  

Rather a slow day (really, the last week overall, save for the burst of posts regarding the NFL Draft) here, so I thought I would share this...

Tremendous recently did an excellent interview with 2013 commit Wyatt Shallman. You can read the full interview here:

I would, however, like to quote the well-worded start of the summary, which caps what I think is one of the best interviews by Tremendous to date:

"Wyatt is a multi-faceted guy who is already developing a chip on his shoulder coming into this season. For Michigan, he'll be a running back. Any talk otherwise should end now and I think he's ready to prove some people wrong."

Every Thursday over at Touch the Banner, I'm doing a scouting report on a 2013 target.  Now that we can concentrate on the 2013 recruiting class, here's a look at five big-time Michigan targets:

RB Wyatt Shallman
WR James Quick
TE Adam Breneman
OL Kyle Bosch
DT Jay Ellison
