Some liar him at G and some list him as a OG. I can't be the only one that thinks the name "Ben Bredenson" sounds like a tackles name.

I know it's forever away, but I cannot wait for this O-line class to hit the field. I'm confident in Terrance Davis committing sooner rather than later..and just holy smokes this is gonna be great!! We've all seen the difference an offensive line unit can make. Fab 25 shaping up!

3 highest rated commits in this class so far are on the OL. What a great haul so far and could get even better with Davis.

Just need Davis to commit. He should be licking his chops after this commitment. Could have one of the best OL's in the nation the next few years.

Is that something like eight commits to the 2016 class in the last two weeks or so? Not only does it seem to be filling up fast, but it is filling out rather nicely and this particular name only adds to that, and at a position where the help will be welcomed greatly.

This makes me think of how physically punishing the Stanford O-line was. We are following that model to a tee. I can't think of any running backs who wouldn't want to play behind a dominant line. Coach H sure knows what he's doing. How refreshing is to say that!

Since The Opening became a thing in 2011, Michigan has had 3 OL that have competed in it.

This 2016 class alone has 3 invitees to The Opening.

Onwenu is playing in the Army All-American Bowl and Bredeson is playing in the UA All-American Bowl.

All 3 were ranked in the ESPN Jr. 300 with Bredeson being the highest in the class (thus far) at #83.

#1-29 are all 5*.

If Bredeson does well in US Army all american bowl, he's a shoe-in for 5*

By contrast, the top player in MSU's already very large class is #77 in composite

Our OL class should finish:

Erik Swenson 4* OT

Terrance Davis High 4* OG

Mike Onwenu HIgh 4*OG

Ben Bredeson High 4* OT

Harbaugh took fairly average recruits at Stanford and turned them in All-Americans David DeCastro and Jonathon Martin. Imagine what he can do with these cattle.
