Michigan landed preferred walk-on 2012 Quarterback Brian Cleary from U of D Jesuit. The 6'3 205 pound quarterback had an offer from CMU, and will more than likely garner an offer from Michigan State next week. Welcome aboard!

Congrats Brian great decision... but CMU is not a BCS school
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Think he just whiffed on the State joke
Think there's a decent chance he just didn't understand the State joke. With 7 points, there's a pretty decent chance he isn't yet totally obsessed with MGoBlog and didn't read the long snapper info.

I spotted this kid as a possible walk on some months ago because he kept turning up on the front page of Scout as a prospect. I created a post about it back then with his highlights but could not get any confirmation or much interest from the board. Definitely a great pick up to bolster our thin QB depth. Coach Hoke proving that he is as adept at finding great walk-ons as he is at recruiting.

"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

Go Cubs!
Class of '09. Always good to have QB depth.
Welcome
to da par tay and to the family.
From the Red Cedar Message Board: "God hates us." Yes He does Lil Bro, yes he does. Everyone hates you.
Good pick up for Michigan.
Good pick up for Michigan. Cleary has the makings of becoming a decent QB at the college level, or at least a valued scout team contributor.
He is rough though in his mechanics. He sets his feet well, but he plays with a hunch and has a big wind-up release. He takes far too long to release the ball. His motion is not all that smooth, and he can improve on his arm stength quite a bit...especially when he gets propr tutoring by a solid QB coach who can work with him on his mechanics.
On the plus side, he appears to be very mobile for his height, and shows nice accuracy on many throws. You can "coach" accuracy in a QB...however a certain amount of it is inherient to the individual's talents. This is very positive thing for Brian Cleary.
Good height, but a small build show that he does have the capacity to grow, add weight and strength. A solid S&C program like Michigan's will do wonders to build this kid up.
Cleary is rated by 247
Cleary is rated as the number 2,646th player in the nation. So when the Scout 3,000 comes out next week, we should have some new food for thought. I thought he should have been rated in the 2,300s to be honest. Classic anti-Michigan bias.

I think it's a good get
He has a pretty good motion throwing on the run, but it looks like he needs to learn to set his feet and throw the ball. Could be a pretty good backup if he learns the mechanics well.
Welcome Brian! Nice pick
Welcome Brian! Nice pick up.
He does need some work on his mechanics, but he's got really impressive touch when throwing on the run. Looks like a gamer. Some kids just find a way to make a play.
A new QB pickup?!?
That proves it. DG is our starting #1 WR this fall.
Awesome
Glad to see a fellow Cub make a statement in football! Go Cubs! Class of '09
Walkons with an offer from
Walkons with an offer from anywhere is pretty cool. probably will never see the field, but will get one hell of an education which is more than most schools will ever get to say.

The kid has some touch on his throws. Looks like a solid walk-on!
Do you bleed blue?
Walk-ons with BCS school offers are cool!
