TomVH: An Interview with 2013 OL Kyle Bosch

Since there are only roughly nine spots left in the 2012 class it's already time to take a look at more prospects in the 2013 class. With Shane Morris committed and a handful of offers extended, the Michigan coaches are definitely getting a head start.

One 2013 lineman that could start to hear more from Michigan is Illinois offensive tackle Kyle Bosch (6'5", 275 lbs). Bosch has racked up offers from Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, and West Virginia. He's also hearing from programs outside his offer list, and hopes to hear from more. Here's a look at his film and what he had to say about his recruitment.

TOM: I know it's still early for you but what schools are you hearing from so far?

KYLE: I'm hearing from Notre Dame, Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Ohio State, West Virginia, Michigan State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Arizona, Penn State, Boston College, Stanford, Northwestern, and a couple more.

TOM: Wow, that's a lot. What do you think has gotten you so much attention? What are schools saying about you?

KYLE: Most colleges are saying that I play with a chip on my shoulder and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. They also like how I always play to the whistle.

TOM: What about Michigan, are they a school that you hope to hear from?

KYLE: Absolutely. They are not only a great football school but they also put major focus on academics. It has the best of both worlds.

TOM: Do you think you'll get up to Michigan this summer, or for a game? What about summer visits in general?

KYLE: I went to a couple camps this summer but now my camp circuit is done. I actually tried to contact Michigan and tell them I wanted to visit because I was going up there anyways for the MSU camp, but I couldn't get a hold of anyone. I'd love to get up there I just need to figure it out. [TomVH ED: Contact rules are strict, so they probably couldn't call him back. Happens a lot.]

TOM: When you go to evaluate a school what are you looking for?

KYLE: I'm looking for a coaching staff that I could see myself playing four years for and enjoying my time there. I'm also looking at the type of academics they offer because in the end no matter how good you are football will end. You always need something to fall back on.

TOM: You've mentioned academics, do you already have an idea of what you want to major in?

KYLE: Business or political science.

TOM: So it's safe to assume that the business school at each program will be important too?

KYLE: Yeah, that'd be safe to say.

TOM: Ok, and how do you see all this playing out? When do you think you'll try to make your decision?

KYLE: I will probably wait until signing day of my senior year to make my decision.
