Film: Senior Highlights: There was a time not too long ago when Michigan fans would have sold their little brothers for a defensive tackle who wasn't either too small or high to stay in place, or too squat to do more than get in the way. Things have settled down now, but not so much that we've forgotten that an active, low, angry, wrestly bastard in the guts of the defense is an extremely important component, and thus extremely hard to find on the open market. Moreover, DTs tend to have it or they don't, and this is so visible in late high school that the big swinging baggers are willing to make huge investments in sure things like Walter Nolen. Recruiting them small and building their butts yourself is one way to Moneyball the problem. A better system, however, is to find the late-risers after the main bidders have bid out. That's getting harder to do, especially in California, where top talent is funneled up to schools like Servite that play some of the best high school teams ever assembled on a weekly basis, in front of all the scouts. Somehow, thanks to the connections of since-departed Courtney Morgan, a global pandemic, and the patience of Mason Graham's pituitary gland, an ideal 3-tech prospect fell in Southern California, and nobody was around to contest before Boise State had been shoved aside and Michigan had a bull by the horns. Every week this went on, the scouts kept looking back at their rankings and incrementing Graham up, afraid to believe what they saw. The top DTs have to be sure things, after all. What if there's a hole in his game? What if he don't say thank you or please? [After THE JUMP: Might seduce your dad type.]
