Getting to know: Juwann Bushell-Beatty

Juwann Bushell-Beatty is no
stranger to success. He anchored an offensive line that helped lead Paramus
(NJ) Catholic to a 10-2 record and a New Jersey non-public, Group 4 state title.
Following the season, Juwann flew up the recruiting boards, garnering three- and
four-star ratings from the major recruiting services.  Juwann was offered in February and committed
to the Wolverines shortly after his early April visit to Ann Arbor. Despite the
instant success and busy offseason he stays humbled by the experience. “Me
personally I am very grateful to be where I am at right now. Not many people
can say they have done all this in such a short period of time. I can say I’m
blessed to be where I am at.”

Being
blessed certainly doesn’t mean being comfortable. Speaking with Juwann he was adamant
about the work that he still needs to do before he arrives on the Michigan
campus in over a year from now. “I really don’t have one aspect of my game I need
to improve; I would say my game in a whole. Last year I was satisfied because
it was my first year really starting.  Then
I went back and looked at the tape a couple of months later, and I wasn’t really
that impressed with myself.  There is a
lot I need to work on so I can play at that second level. I need to bring
everything I have to the table so I can get on the field sooner.  I want to improve my all around game, run
blocking, pass blocking, how low I come off the ball, quickness of my feet and
stuff like that.  That is just a small
part of it in becoming a better all around player.” He doesn’t only have the
mindset, but the work ethic is there to match it and an understanding of how he
can translate his game to the next level. “I really like the explosive aspect,
working on speed training and that’s one thing I feel I need to work on the
most. As a college offensive lineman you need to be explosive. That’s a major
thing we work on and something I take very seriously.”
