Hello: Dan Gibbs
Per his Twitter account:
Officially playing football at Michigan next year! Couldn't be happier with my choice.
He's an OT from Seaholm HS in Birmingham, MI: 2 star to Rivals, 3 star to Scout. Scout says he had offers from Ball St and Eastern.
EDIT: DGDestroys informs us that Gibbs will be a preferred walk-on.

This kid goes to my daughters HS and she says he wears maize and blue almost daily. Personally I think he is going to be a beast....stars be damned!!

if Hoke had offered and this kid had committed he probably would have been a consensus 3 star, right?

IMO, yes. There are a number of reasons, including an unexpected coaching change at the end of his junior year (and not including 'stealing things'), that led to him being 'criminally underrated.' I think Michigan just got a solid 3-4* kid for free.

He should benefit immensly from consistent, great coaching. Seaholm's football program is not exactly a very strong one. It's gone through a lot of changes the past few years and i wouldn't exactly call the staff (at least a couple years ago) the greatest, and during his time there, it went through a lot of changes. Give him consistent, solid coaching around guys better than him and I feel he'll rise to the occasion. I was 2 years ahead of him in high school and was his captain in track & field. From what I recall, he works.
