Hello: Ryan Glasgow (Pref. Walk-on 2012)

Could somebody with video editing skills remove the contact info from the start of that?

Way to rain on the guys parade. He passed up offers to be a Michigan Wolverine and play with his brother. Just say Hello: and welcome him to the family.

Isn't that kind of understood when you're a walkon?

He gets to be on the practice squad for a potential national championship contender and compete for playing time with everyone else, get a fantastic education, and probably never play in the pros.  vs.  Getting to compete for playing time at a lesser school with a good chance at seeing the field, get a slightly less prestigious degree, and probably never play in the pros. Different guys would weigh these options differently.

In a prior analysis it was shown that there is no difference within a program in the rates of 2-, 3- and 4-star recruits eventually going pro... unless a program also signed more than 0.5 to 1 5-star recruit per year.

Within a sub-group made up of Cal, Iowa, Oregon and Va Tech: 12.2%, 12.99% and 13.43% of 2-, 3- and 4-stars (respectively) from the 2002-2005 recruiting cycles eventually went pro.

Within a sub-group made up of Georgia, ohio, and Penn St:  12.5%, 16.2%, and 24.0% of 2-, 3- and 4-stars (respectively) from the 2002-2005 recruiting cycles eventually went pro.

In summary:  If we consider our walk-ons (especially with scholarship offers to other D-1 programs) to be 2- to 3-star material, then we should expect an NFL caliber football player to be produced from among every 8 walk-ons.  I would also surmise that a team with 4 coaches along the lines would be a great place for walk-on linemen to be sculpted into NFL-type talent.

Welcome Mr. Glasgow.  We will all be rooting for you!

Are there any other brothers?  Kind of nice to have a pipeline of walk-ons good enough to get scholarship offers at other DI schools (Graham at Minnesotta, per ESPN, and Ryan at Wyoming and a bunch of D1-AA schools per response above.)

Terrance Robinson, Marvin Robinson and Denard are all brothers??

so this is highly likely.

As much as I hate to rain on some Hoke love, I think it's probably more a function of our poor depth.

We only get two of the Glasgow brothers, at least for now.  Big brother Graham, and now Ryan, but according to that linked article, there's another brother rising up thru the ranks -he's now a freshman--Jordan Glasgow.

I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned who his High School assistant coach is---Kurt Becker, who was an All-American for Meeeechigan (I'll take the liberty of using that spelling, as he played back in the day that ol' Bob Ufer---God Bless his cotton-pickin' heart!--- did our play-by-play).  In that linked article in the thread header, Becker gives both Glasgow brothers props, gushing about their athleticism, and about Ryan's aggressiveness.

I was thinking of the same thing (center) as I watched the video.  Right combination of height, size, smarts, and aggressiveness to be a good center.  All-in-all, a good late addition to the 2012 class to add depth, competition,  and versatility---welcome aboard, Ryan!

edit: Can't believe someone didn't like this video.  It isn't often the topic of Glasgow Football comes up and this video is one of the greatest bad videos ever.

I love scotch.
