Jeremy Clark news (Joining 2012 class)

Submitted by Gobluegr on
Rivals has a headline saying that he is not greyshirting and his local newspaper said this "North Hopkins senior cornerback Jeremy Clark will join the University of Michigan a year earlier than originally scheduled. Instead of greyshirting as part of the incoming 2013-14 class, Clark will suit up next fall. Clark has five TDs this season."... Does anyone have news on this? Edit: he is joining the 2012 class http://the-messengerblogs.com/oconnell/?p=132

I'm thrilled for him.  Willing to greyshirt, putting his future ahead of his present while using his present for what it's worth, and then being rewarded by his future sneaking up on him a little sooner than planned.  And showing he deserves it.

I agree with you 100 percent he is what we all love to call a Michigan Man doing things the right way. Plus he looks like a stud on film with great measurables to go with it. I do not know if Kentucky is a hot bed like Ohio, PA, or Florida but Jeremy has done nothing in my mind to think he will not be a super sleeper like a Mike Hart or Nick Mangold ( 1 star out of high school) when we look back at his stelar career at the U of M when it is all said and done. He will outpreform every idea I think we have of him by the time he leaves.

If he was good enough for the 2013 class, he should have been good enough for the 2012 class.  I'm glad that the coaching staff is doing the right thing by him and is giving him a spot in the 2012 class.

This is why I'm glad Tim is gone. If you're going to right a freaking Hello post at least know a little something about the kid. Tim bashed this kid up and down for basically no reason and said he wouldn't contribute. All I have to say is glad this kid if coming to Michigan and Tim is gone.

More of a long strider rather than a speedster.

Has the makings of an absolute beast at safety though, hopefully he has the speed to be a legit ball-hawking FS.  God knows any depth we could get that position is a blessing (thanks to you, Angry DB-hating Michigan God).

Kudos to the kid by the way.  There were rumors of Kentucky, Tennessee dropping an offer to him but he stuck it out with Michigan.
