Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Jake Ryan

jake-ryan-602

Green Bay Packers linebacker Jake Ryan made 12 tackles in a 31-26 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He now has 59 tackles and 3 pass breakups on the season.

HONORABLE MENTION

  • Seattle Seahawks DE Frank Clark made 3 tackles and 1 sack in a 31-25 win over the Buffalo Bills
  • Carolina Panthers WR Devin Funchess caught 1 pass for 28 yards in a 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams
  • New York Jets LB David Harris made 5 tackles in a 27-23 loss to the Miami Dolphins

It’s a pretty boring week for former Wolverines when a guy with 1 catch for 28 yards gets honorably mentioned, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Michigan vs. Maryland Awards

Let’s see more of this guy on offense . . . Grant Perry. Perry is Michigan’s fourth-leading receiver by yards, though he has just 6 receptions on the year. However, he has been a reliable target at slot receiver for both Jake Rudock and Wilton Speight over the past year and a half, and he’s a decent blocker. Unfortunately, he found himself in some trouble over the bye week a few weeks ago, and he appears to be working himself out of the doghouse. Michigan didn’t need him on Saturday, but it would be nice to have all options available down the stretch.

Hit the jump for more on Saturday’s win over Maryland.

Former CB commit Gareon Conley: Conley made 1 tackle and 1 pass breakup in Ohio State’s 62-3 win over Nebraska.

Former defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin: In case you weren’t paying attention, the new Maryland coach suffered a 59-3 defeat at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines. Maryland is 5-4 with games remaining against Ohio State, Nebraska, and then Rutgers. It looks like it will come down to that final week to see if Maryland will be bowl eligible.

Former RB Derrick Green: Green made 5 carries for 33 yards in TCU’s awesome 62-22 win over a Baylor team that wore black uniforms to protest the firing of Art Briles, who turned a blind eye toward all the disgusting shenanigans that took place in Waco. I typically don’t care about Baylor or TCU, but I sure am glad Baylor got their butts handed to them.

Hit the jump for several more updates on former Wolverines players, coaches, and commits.
