Hello: Marlin Klein

According to 247, offers from Georgia, Florida St, TCU, WVU, Arizona State, Va Tech, as well as a host of B1G teams like Nebraska, Staee, Purdue, and Indiana.

Looks like the offer list of a 4 star guy. I'll bet he moves up the rankings soon enough
September 22nd, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
I know stars matter, but I trust our staff. If I were on one of those other staffs and Mich was recruiting him, I'd be inclined to jump in, myself.
And stars that are early, and being hindered from reevaluation by covid, are less indicative than usual of the quality of the recruit.

This is a kid from Germany that plays for a small prep school in GA.
Sam Webb has been saying for several months that the staff sees him as the fast TE riser in 2022 - like Fidone in ‘21 and the kid from Windsor in ‘20
September 22nd, 2020 at 8:09 PM ^
Didn’t Louis Hansen rise like this?
side note: watched Will Mallory do big things for Miami this weekend. Heart breaking
September 22nd, 2020 at 10:40 AM ^
Great pickup. Super-athletic young TE.
September 22nd, 2020 at 10:46 AM ^
Great news! Glad to lock down a Tight End early in the class and one who looks like a solid addition.
September 22nd, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
JAWOHL!!!
September 22nd, 2020 at 10:56 AM ^
Yeah this kid is a lock to be a riser in the rankings. Nice find/get.
September 22nd, 2020 at 10:57 AM ^
Sehr gut!
September 22nd, 2020 at 10:57 AM ^
Still don’t like the fact that he committed during school.
Otherwise, nice pickup.
September 22nd, 2020 at 4:52 PM ^
... Why?
September 22nd, 2020 at 8:12 PM ^
I think he means like literally during the school day?
September 22nd, 2020 at 11:05 AM ^
Welcome!
September 22nd, 2020 at 11:06 AM ^
Building the German pipeline!
September 22nd, 2020 at 11:11 AM ^
Hallo. Guten tag
September 22nd, 2020 at 11:22 AM ^
MOAR GERMAN MOTHERS!
September 22nd, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
What a feelin'
September 22nd, 2020 at 11:57 AM ^
Hell yeah!

The Teutonic Titwillow . . . it's twue, it's twue!
September 22nd, 2020 at 12:05 PM ^
I didn't even know he was coming from a high school in the U.S.: Rabun Gap-Nacoochee
September 22nd, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
Really nice school. Near tallulah gorge in North Georgia and visible on the drive up to the Harrah's cherokee casino from the Atlanta area.
September 22nd, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
Welcome Marlin, Way to GoBlue!
September 22nd, 2020 at 2:32 PM ^
Good breakdown of this kid on SI. Not sure of the comp he's facing but he looks like a stud of an athlete with alot of potential.
September 22nd, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
Looks like he runs extremely well and has some open field moves too. That long stride gives him a real advantage in the open field. It will be interesting to see more detailed intel on him in regard to jumping ability, how good his hands are, etc. But the thought of him going up for fades in the corner of the end zone makes me excited.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:37 AM ^
Any thoughts of the QB of the team I am rooting for throwing fades to the corner of the end zone are not happy thoughts.
September 22nd, 2020 at 3:26 PM ^
Jeff Chadwick reincarnate!
September 22nd, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
Is he better than Ian Bunting? He did next to nothing at Michigan.
September 22nd, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
Way to reel him in!
September 22nd, 2020 at 5:21 PM ^
It'll be fun to hear the typical scouting drivel in German: Bereits D1 groß, wird er seinen Körper in den nächsten paar Jahren schön ausfüllen, usw. usw. ...
September 22nd, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
Comments like this is why I read this blog. Thank you, sir.
September 22nd, 2020 at 6:16 PM ^
Give us all of your German athletes!
September 22nd, 2020 at 6:37 PM ^
Wunderbar. Looks like an agile, athletic guy ... especially for 6’7”. He could be our German version of Coby Fleener.
