Olney (MD) Our Lady of Good Counsel defensive end Kris Jenkins, Jr. committed to Michigan on Wednesday. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Iowa, Maryland, Penn State, and Virginia Tech, among others.
Name: German Green Height: 6’2″ Weight: 175 lbs. High school: DeSoto (TX) DeSoto Position: Safety Class: Redshirt freshman Jersey number: #13 Last year: I ranked Green #88 and said he would redshirt (LINK). He redshirted. TTB Rating: 59
Boy, in retrospect that 59 seems a little harsh, but here we are going into 2019 and I still have yet to hear much about German Green. I don’t mean that in a harsh way, but injury and a lack of film prevented him from being scouted much in high school. Other than a vague rumor that the Michigan coaches thought German was a better player than his more highly regarded brother, Gemon, there’s not much to go on.
Going into the 2019 season, the safety position seems pretty solid. Josh Metellus returns as a starter, and the other safety starter will probably be junior Brad Hawkins…or junior J’Marick Woods…or freshman 5-star Daxton Hill. Add in 4-star freshman Quinten Johnson, junior utility man Jaylen Kelly-Powell, and redshirt freshman Sammy Faustin…well, this is a pretty deep position. I don’t think there will be any leftover snaps for Green on defense, but as a redshirt freshman safety, he should be spending some time running down the field on kickoff, at the very least.
Honolulu (HI) St. Louis wide receiver Roman Wilson committed to Michigan on Tuesday. He chose the Wolverines over offers from Oregon, UCLA, Washington, and Wisconsin, among others.
Wilson is listed at 6’0″ and 180 lbs. He recently ran a 4.37 forty and a 3.96 shuttle with a 39″ vertical. He had 32 receptions for 803 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior in 2018.
