Number 4 player out of Tennessee according to 247
February 4th, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
Impressive offer list. He could make a ton of money from some of those teams. Looking at that Hudl film, I can't tell if he is good, or if the competition is horrible.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:30 AM ^
Good thing we have a Big Mac of our own
February 4th, 2021 at 10:57 AM ^
Linguist was known as the guy for getting top kids out of SEC country for Jimbo Fisher. I will let you all figure out the rest.
February 4th, 2021 at 12:03 PM ^
I imagine he has awesome communication skills
February 4th, 2021 at 12:43 PM ^
Linguist has a silver tongue, some might say.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:33 AM ^
Looks like 247 changed him to safety designation
February 4th, 2021 at 10:37 AM ^
It doesn’t look that way to me
February 4th, 2021 at 10:38 AM ^
If you look at state rankings it says safety now. Used to say CB
February 4th, 2021 at 10:50 AM ^
He's playing safety in the hudl
February 4th, 2021 at 12:08 PM ^
Can he play DT after they break the huddle?
February 4th, 2021 at 11:10 AM ^
He’s listed as a safety on 247 and when you hit the position raking for safety, the link takes you to the WR page. Maybe he’s going to end up a DT?
February 4th, 2021 at 11:17 AM ^
Seems like 247 updated all of it now. Everything lists him as a safety. He would be the #16 safety on composite
February 4th, 2021 at 11:22 AM ^
Baseball bat Nua knows no bounds
February 4th, 2021 at 12:34 PM ^
He is committing on Friday according to his Instagram. Buckle up!
February 4th, 2021 at 10:25 AM ^
6’2” top 247 WR/CB - sounds great to me
February 4th, 2021 at 10:26 AM ^
Good thing we have a cunning Linguist on the job.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:55 AM ^
Looks like the "cunning Linquist" meme is the new "shark humper"
February 4th, 2021 at 10:26 AM ^
Apparently Groves himself mentioned that Michigan is recruiting him at cornerback.
He looks like a good player, and this might be a promising year to try to raid Tennessee, with the state's flagship program in shambles. Fisher Anderson, a four star offensive tackle from Tennessee, is also seriously considering Michigan.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:29 AM ^
If we could get Johnson, Gould and him at CB that would be special. I still think Domani Jacksons recruitment is far from over
February 4th, 2021 at 10:52 AM ^
Probably right about Jackson. I'm sure OSU and Bama will make a push to flip him.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:29 AM ^
Article from Maize n Brew about his offer and interest in Michigan
February 4th, 2021 at 10:32 AM ^
4-star like #350 or like #50?
February 4th, 2021 at 10:39 AM ^
Number 188 player according to 247
February 4th, 2021 at 10:33 AM ^
Title most certainly does not say it all.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:40 AM ^
oh my
February 4th, 2021 at 10:52 AM ^
Punctuation is so important. Editor must spend to much time on Twitter.
February 4th, 2021 at 11:15 AM ^
Yes, just needs an exclamation point!
February 4th, 2021 at 12:10 PM ^
Missed it by that much.
February 4th, 2021 at 12:21 PM ^
At least to hours to much, amirite?
February 4th, 2021 at 11:01 AM ^
I miss Jay Leno's opening weekly monologue featuring Headlines like this.....
February 4th, 2021 at 12:45 PM ^
Headlines was definitely a good bit.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:39 AM ^
Taylor Groves is 188 overall on 247 and 242 on the composite, and being a highly ranked player in SEC country would be a great pull.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:40 AM ^
Rivals insiders have also put in their version of a crystal ball on their website. Buckle up maybe?
February 4th, 2021 at 10:41 AM ^
I have never heard of Coach Linguist before (not sure how I missed it), but he has a damn impressive Bio, especially since he graduated college in 2006
https://mgoblue.com/news/2021/1/20/football-michigan-names-linguist-helow-to-defensive-coaching-staff.aspx
Things are looking up for the football team!
February 4th, 2021 at 10:54 AM ^
Before when? Today? Before he was hired by Michigan? I don't think anyone on this board, heard of him before he was hired by Harbaugh. If you are saying today, then where in the hell have you been man?
February 4th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^

Evidently you're not obsessively checking MGoBlog every fifteen minutes. Shame on you.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:42 AM ^
I hope he turns out to be something special. That said, he doesn't look super fast on tape and appears to get the advantage because he is taller than the competition. The town where he lives has less than 2,000 people, so I don't imagine the competition is that fierce and his team was 3-7 this year. That's why they're the coaches/scouts/recruiters and I am a fat, bald guy on a message board.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:47 AM ^
He has a self-reported 4.38 40 time according to sports illustrated article. Apparently ran a 4.42 at a Nashville Camp in December
February 4th, 2021 at 10:56 AM ^
Well, maybe he's just running hard enough to pass the tackler. 4.4 at 6'2 is good on either side of the ball.
February 4th, 2021 at 11:00 AM ^
If he's a legit 6-3/190 and running a legit 4.42, then he ain't slow.
February 4th, 2021 at 10:48 AM ^
Don’t sell yourself short, you’re a tremendous fat, bald guy
February 4th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
I agree.. its odd that he looks slow but if you watch closely, he is constantly setting the tacklers up...his 40 time is quite great. Wonder if anyone else thinks this but he looks to me like Ted Ginn at bit, long legged and long strides.
February 4th, 2021 at 11:56 AM ^
That Linguist is one cunning chap.
February 4th, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
Taylor Groves sounds like a Detroit suburb
February 4th, 2021 at 1:42 PM ^
It feels like a warm blanket now, doesn't it ? With a staff of YOUNG ACE recruiters.... just feels great, and I'm NOT ashamed to admit it !!!! Love this new staff... Feels like Michigan again.
February 4th, 2021 at 3:53 PM ^
Hopefully the link works - watch some of his basketball tape like this clip. Taylor is a glider who easily transitions into explosive plays (mostly dunking). He should have range and ball skills at DB with his height and athleticism.
