This is a kid the early signing period would have helped, would have known a few months ago for sure that Michigan wasn't going to take him. Best of luck to him in the future, can't imagine he will be the last of this class to decommit without too much fight from the coaches.

It's always unfortunate to see a kid decommit, but I wish him the best. Can we focus on the real issue for just one second, though? Why is that when someone posts a screenshot, their phone is always seconds away from a dead battery? Is there some kind of game I'm missing here? Are these people walking around with dead phones all the time? Why doesn't anyone charge their phone?

He looked at Hendricks' role during Rutgers and he has decided not to play mop up ball. I can't blame him for that. A fullback under Harbaugh must be essentially a blocking, trapping tight end who lines up in the backfield and can catch clutch twice per year. It's a fairly thankless and unselfish role that does not transition well to the NFL.

Nooo!!!! Man he was a perfect Harbaugh recruit. Was just purely smashing in facemasks in his highlight tapes. I can't blame him though. His playing time would be limited and he's got too much talent to be sitting on the bench.

Cant' blame the kid for only wanting to be an LB and not be recruited as a FB. That's some of what I read into it. Also on the link to his anouncement on Twitter it looks like he tells a classmate that he wants to be looked at as an LB and not on the DL. The DL part is new, but I can see why he's shopping around. A school has a need for him at FB and LB and he wants to only play at LB. I don't knwo much about his recruitment though.
