It's always a great individual story when it walk-ons become significant contributors.  Of course, few true walk-ons can match Jordan Kovacs, who very well could have a best-selling (in SE Michigan at least) autiobiography in him after Michigan wins the 2012 national championship.

It appears that the Glasgows are from Marmion Military Academy.  As a football alumni of the Suburban Catholic Conference - now the Suburban Christian Conference - myself, I can tell you that he played in the same conference as our own Kyle Bosch.  (As well as Nebraska '12 4* WR Jordan Westerkamp.)  You'll recognize one conference member - Montini Catholic - as the team that Ty Isaac ran roughsod over in last year's state championship game.  Other notable alums of the conference are Bryan Bulaga and Brad Childress.

Not bad for a group of relatively small schools.  I'm sure this is useless information for a lot of you, but as a former Div. 3 OL, I'm proud to see these schools producing some quality OL - and passing them along to the B1G.

Congrats Ryan!

As others have said, he passed up scholarship offers from other schools to come to Michigan as a preferred walk-on.  That means he loves Michigan more than he wanted a scholarship to play football elsewhere.

Someone help me here ... aside from depth, isn't there also a need for dedication and intensity on the practice teams?  It seems like someone with that kind of affection for the school and the program could come in, bust ass on the practice teams, help to hone the starters, and just maybe catch the eye of the coaches and get on the field at the Big House?

I admire the walk-ons ... in this day of skyrocketing college tuition, to want to be in a Michigan uniform that much says boatloads about the kid's character.  Bravo to him.  Bravo.
