UM has all 9 CB's for Jerry Rice's son, Brendan.
Including Wiltfong's. 2020 WR target, high 3 star right now (sorry Maizen), He just caught 5 passes for 167 yards & a TD in his HS opener. Would love to see this young man in Maize & Blue.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
Hope we get him.
Barely relevant, but don’t expect Jerry on the sidelines if we land Brenden. Jerry Rice is not in his son’s life, and Brenden was raised by his stepfather who played at Texas A&M.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
So pump the brakes on “Maybe Jerry will coach WR’s!” talk?
August 27th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
I was wondering if Jerry lived in Colorado. Sad to see kids have no involvement with their biological father.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:58 PM ^
Colorado? I think his son lives in Arizona.
August 28th, 2019 at 5:32 AM ^
I read something in that article that made me think it was Colorado. Hell if I know what it was now.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
I did not know this, but I believe in The Harbaugh Factor...
Jerry will be an honorary captain and there will be a glorious reunion of father and son, followed by passes of Tom Brady to Jerry Rice, for all to behold.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
no Tom that day, only Jim will play catch with Jerry
August 27th, 2019 at 11:08 PM ^
How about Elvis Grbac to Jerry Rice? They did win a Super Bowl together in 1994.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:43 AM ^
separation of church and football
August 28th, 2019 at 12:51 AM ^
Tom and Jerry will likely have all kinds of adventures
August 27th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
One of the commenters on 247 refuted that & said that Jerry was at a couple of Brendan's camps, & if that's true, it's not fair to say that he's not in his son's life.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:30 PM ^
Maybe not the perfect way to describe their relationship, but I am basing that on Brenden's words from this azcentral article quote:
"I don't get to talk to my father a lot," Brenden said.
Because he said Jerry Rice isn't in his life as much, Brenden said it "fuels my drive to be better than he ever was."
I'm sure their relationship is more complex than is captured in this specific article, but it certainly doesn't seem like Jerry has been a big fixture in his son's life.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
Well if that is the case...please for the love of god go to Michigan and please for the love of god be better than your father!!!!!
August 27th, 2019 at 10:57 PM ^
Brenden "Fred Jackson" Rice. Jerry Rice, but taller and better.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:26 PM ^
Better route runner. Better hands. Better smile. Better singer. Better dresser. Better driver. Better dancer. Better drywaller. Better mechanic.
Brenden Rice? He's just damn better.
August 28th, 2019 at 2:02 PM ^
"fuels my drive to be better than he ever was."
August 29th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
What about his aunt Condolezza "Playoff Committee" Rice?
August 27th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
I loved Rice in Tecmo Super Bowl! His ratings were unreal. His son will probably be a stud.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
Jerry Rice's son? I think we can make room for him...Seriously, who cares how many stars he is. The kid has the pedigree of the best WR to play the game. Would be thrilled to see him in the wing-ed headgear.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
Michael Jordan’s sons say hello.
But seriously, I’d be pumped if Brendan Rice is here.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:02 PM ^
Michael Jordan's son Marcus was an average-to-decent player at UCF.

Magic Johnson's son says don't forget about me!
August 27th, 2019 at 10:37 PM ^
Haaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Wayne Gretzky's son says, "sup?"
August 27th, 2019 at 11:09 PM ^
Exactly, anecdotally speaking, the kids of world class athletes more often than not don't come close to their famous father's athletic prowess.
While they may have the benefit of a great in house teacher-coach, they only have half the genes from their athletic dad.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:10 PM ^
And I say “‘Sup?” to Wayne’s daughter.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:11 PM ^
Thank God she went after her mother!!!
August 27th, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
Great until they scroll up to her face and it looks like Wayne with a wig.
August 28th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
Devin Bush's son says...
Oh wait...
August 27th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
Is he a possession receiver with mediocre speed and great hands?
August 27th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
He's good-not a world class burner...4.6 forty, 36" vertical...sub 11 100M.
Otherwise, 247 is reporting that Theo Johnson will be at the game on Saturday-now that is good news!
August 27th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Jerry Rice, honorary captain.
And can we get Mr. Tom Brady to throw a few passes to him during warm-ups?
Seriously, what honest-to-God football fan would not want to see that?
August 27th, 2019 at 10:55 PM ^
We got to see Rice catch them from Montana and Young. Jerry didnt suffer from a lack of competent QB play
August 27th, 2019 at 11:12 PM ^
It’s more about fantasizing about two GOATs playing catch together.
August 28th, 2019 at 6:28 AM ^
The Michigan head football coach was a pretty decent NFL quarterback too. Would be happy seeing Harbaugh rifle some passes to Rice.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
No pressure kid. All you have to do is exceed your dad’s legacy.
August 27th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
This is no 3 star.
But I think his Dad was a 3 star so there’s that. Maizen.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
It's a space station?
August 27th, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Can he play DT?
August 27th, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
August 27th, 2019 at 11:23 PM ^
Looks like Braylon Edwards (3 star) looked in his high school clips.
August 28th, 2019 at 7:29 AM ^
A legit 4.6 may not be the fastest in college, but it is super fast in HS.
August 27th, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
He ate up Chapparal H.S. in the opener. That was Craig Roh and Taylor Lewan's alma mater.
The more you know.
August 27th, 2019 at 11:03 PM ^
We need some CBs...
August 27th, 2019 at 11:13 PM ^
Believe it or not, the Michigan football operations are large enough to handle recruiting players at two different positions at once. Hell, I'd say they could even simultaneously recruit three at a time.
August 28th, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
