Brad Hawkins, Jr.

The 2016 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl will be played on January 3, 2016, at 9:00 p.m. EST. It will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1. Michigan has a couple commits participating in the 2016 version, and here’s a list of all the Michigan targets involved.

EAST
T.J. Chase – WR – FL (Clemson)
Messiah DeWeaver – QB – OH (Michigan State)
Will Fries – OT – NJ (Penn State)
Brad Hawkins, Jr. – WR – NJ (Michigan)
Khaleke Hudson – S – PA
Josh Imatorbhebhe – WR – GA (USC)
Ron Johnson, Jr. – DE – NJ (Michigan)
Khalid Kareem – DE – MI (Notre Dame)
Jay Jay McCargo – OT – NC (North Carolina)
Diondre Overton – WR – NC
Jamal Pettigrew – TE – LA (LSU)
Andrew Pryts – S – PA (Penn State)
Koby Quansah – LB – CT (Duke)

WEST
Amani Bledsoe – DE – KS
Isaiah Chambers – DE – TX (TCU)
Demetric Felton – RB – CA (UCLA)
Theo Howard – WR – CA (UCLA)
Jared Mayden – CB – TX (Oregon)
C.J. Pollard – S – CA (USC)
J.D. Spielman – CB – MN (Nebraska)

If you’re interested in these types of things, Will Fries – who will probably miss the game due to injury – is still being recruited by Chris Partridge and the Wolverines. Khaleke Hudson is taking an official visit to Michigan the weekend of January 15th. Also, Messiah DeWeaver was committed to Michigan during the Brady Hoke tenure before decommitting and then choosing the Spartans.

Michigan 41, Florida 7

Who saw that coming? Okay, maybe 8% of you saw that coming. But even a good chunk of that 8% probably didn’t think that Michigan would beat the Gators by 34 points. I don’t think most of us even believed that Michigan could score 41 points against Florida’s defense, especially given that special teams and Michigan’s defense didn’t factor into any scores or even any extremely short fields. The two turnovers Michigan forced were an interception by Channing Stribling on a fake field goal and then an interception by Jarrod Wilson in the endzone for a touchback. Michigan moved the ball methodically and in chunks, didn’t turn over the ball, and only punted once. That’s an impressive showing.

Citrus Bowl Preview: Special Teams, Intangibles, and Predictions

Antonio Callaway

I previously previewed:

SPECIAL TEAMS
Michigan kicker offer Kenny Allen has the Wolverines at #40 in touchback percentage (47%). He is generally pretty good at his job. He is also pretty good at placekicking, where he is #34 nationally on field goals (16/20, 80%) and tied for #1 on extra points (41/41, 100%). He might need to revisit his punting skills, though, because starting punter Blake O’Neill is rumored to be out with a knee injury. O’Neill was #63 in punting average, but he was excellent at pinning opponents deep. Allen has punted just once in his career, a 51-yarder in 2013. Considering Florida’s defense, he should get several opportunities to prove his ability to do a third job. Michigan is #3 in kickoff return average at 28.4 yards/return. Jabrill Peppers is a capable returner, but he will probably miss the game due to injury. And anyway, the majority of kickoff returns have been handled by Jourdan Lewis (25.2 yards/return), while the lone return TD was by Jehu Chesson (46 yards/return on 3 attempts). Whether it’s Lewis, Chesson, or someone the coaching staff deems even better, the Wolverines are pretty solid. (Aside: Did you know that 63 teams – or about half of FBS teams – do not have a kickoff return of 60+ yards?) Meanwhile, Peppers is the only player to have handled even a single punt this season and averaged 11.4 yards/return, which was #21 nationally. I imagine that we might see Lewis back there, although Amara Darboh has experience at just being a sure-handed punt returner with little big-play ability.
