OT-ish: McDooooooooooooooom #2
Former Michigan receiver Eddie McDoom has a younger brother at Winter Garden (FL) West Orange who's a top-100 recruit in the class of 2022. 247 Sports lists Matthew McDoom at 5'8" and 154 lbs., but I think he's bigger than that. Anyway, he's the #13 corner and #87 overall. Only Maryland and UCF have offered at this point. I don't know if Michigan will offer, considering Eddie's experience at Michigan was pretty uneventful.
Eddie played 2019 at USF and made 13 catches for 174 yards. He has one year left with a chance to be a starter, but it seems like his issues with drops have carried over to his USF career, too.
(Side note: Matthew is actually the third McDoom brother, but the oldest one didn't play football.)
sadly Eddie seemed like a fan favorite, but other than the obvious jet sweep, he never seemed to have a lot of productive play. I think you could say the same for a lot of the offense at that point sadly.
Interestingly enough, he led the team in rushing against MSU his freshman year. And that offense was great! First Michigan team to average over 40 points/game in 100+ years.
His sophomore year was definitely unproductive, though, both for him and the whole offense.
McDoom will also be an MSU fan favorite for dropping the ball during the monsoon game in 2017. Immortalized in that choking GIF.
Although it’s not all his fault the coaches live in an actual submarine when it comes to game time awareness.
Brutal. Yeah those are the two things I remember him for: jet sweeps and the MSU drop. The drop was bad, but you're right he's just the poor soul whose mistake took the brunt for a whole game of terrible game management
I don't remember McDoom taking that much fan abuse. I do remember O'Korn taking a lot.
But he really should have caught that ball. The rain had stopped, and he was all alone.
People aren't suggesting MC Doom got fan abuse - the cries of "DOOOooooommm" can be heard even on replays of road games on B1G Network.
But he's memorialized forever in the choke sign gif. As long as there are gifs, anyway...
He makes that catch and has one guy to beat to the end zone. Arghhhh.
Don’t know if the next McDoom and Michigan will have mutual interest but the “McDoooooooom” chants can’t hurt.
I liked Eddie McDoom, bummer it didn't work out for him in Ann Arbor.
5-foot-8 is small but I'd be down to take a chance on Matthew McDoom, too.
5-8 but still time to grow some!!
5'8 and fast isn't a bad option to stick on an opposing slot receiver. Hope Ron English doesn't see this comment.
The oldest brother skipped sports to focus on cartoonish villainy, carrying on the family tradition.
Doctor McVictor McDoom
I understand that he formulated an evil plan for world domination, and it worked - he actually had the entire world in his clutches.
And then he dropped it. So I guess it's a family thing.
How does a top 100 recruit only have offers from Maryland and UCF?
Other teams are loath to recruit against UCF for fear of being out-hit.
I wouldn't expect that to scare off Nebraska.
After McDooms's freshman year I was expecting big things for him. His 2nd year was a big let down, other teams knew about the jet sweeps and he seem like he could not get open and when he did he dropped passes. It is too bad he did not have a great career at Michigan, he had a great football last name.
To be fair, teams knew about the jet sweeps long before his second season
