Andrew Rappleyea Has Committed to Michigan Comment Count

A composite four-star tight end from Massachusetts might be considered destined for Ann Arbor before his recruiting cycle’s begun, but it’s still nice to hear that the Don Brown Country pipeline hasn’t been interrupted, as 2023 tight end Andrew Rappleyea announced he’s committing to the Wolverines.

Rappleyea, out of Milton Academcy, is currently the 332nd player on the 247 composite, though there’s yet quite a lot of disagreement between the sites. 247 has him a 3-star, On3 says top-170 player, Rivals splits the difference, and ESPN…

…seems as burned out after football season as I am. Quick glance at the at the film shows an earthbound athlete with good hands and excellent blocking. We’ll have a full hello post when Alex gets to it.

If in regards to leaping ability, I find that an odd descriptor as he self reports a 39 inch vert and a 4.6 40 (probably a few fakes out of five)... But his Twitter page shows him throwing down pretty seamless windmill dunks, so I'm thinking we very well might have an airbound dude who appears to be quite athletic on film and a very willing blocker. Great get by Jaybaugh after M came to the party a little later than some others (OSU for one)

Welcome to the class Andrew. One of my Boston-area cousins is a fellow Mustang. From a school likely better know for crew, lacrosse and hockey than football I'm glad to see they produced a 4 star TE.
