In my mind there really is no better compliment or endorsement of the program than when a sibling commits as well. Wilton has really had some ups and downs in his days so far, looks like many more ups to come than downs but that will be him reaping the rewards of his perseverance. I already have a special place in my heart for the guy. Looked for a long time like he probably wouldn't amount to more than a scout team or backup type role but he never gave up and is going to be a star. Im sure some of the frustration was shared with family along the way so for his brother to follow his lead speaks volumes about his experience.

Whatever is going on in Schembechler Hall is truly special. Seeing the emotion of Deveon Smith after the Indiana game you just can't help but love the guys who rode this thing out. He is another one of those who looked for a while like he would never get to have an impact but stayed and will hopefully get to claim the title of Champion. So much love for these guys.

Agree with the sentiment and most of your post - but deveon smith looking like a guy who wouldn't make an impact? He surpassed higher rated Derrick green and others almost immediately with his toughness, work ethic and solid overall game. I'm pretty sure smith led the team in rushing in 2014 and 2015 and likely leads again this season. Nice post though other than smith impact comment

Jess looks good on tape.  Has a nice frame and is pretty mobile.  He also has nice arm extension and locks on to DL very well.  As previously mentioned, plays through the whistle.  Technically sound at the HS level already.

With a solid 20LB gain with proper S&C program at Michigan....he could be a sleeper pickup.  He projects well at OG. 

Nice to have brothers on the same team.
