There's something about Michigan and Germany. The basketball program, of course, has boasted the Wagner brothers in recent years. The football team joined in when they picked up Julius "Juice" Welschof in the 2018 class. When 2022 tight end Marlin Klein, a Cologne transplant attending a boarding school in Georgia, took a self-tour of Michigan's campus a couple weeks ago, he decided to continue the tradition.
"I had been thinking about committing since I visited Ann Arbor a couple of weeks ago. As soon as I stepped on campus, it felt like home, and that is when I started thinking about committing.
"I did not go up there thinking about doing this, but I know that I found my place. When I was up at Michigan, I felt like I was at home in Germany. The weather reminded me of home, and it just felt right. The campus was great, the people are nice, and Michigan is the whole package.
While rated as a three-star, Klein has pulled in offers from big-name programs l
Let’s play catch-up, since Michigan picked up four commits for their 2022 class since football began. The first was DT Mason Graham, a guy rising to one site, falling to another, and at least 6’3”/290 to all. Graham is a wrestler who was committed to Boise State, and is still adding to his offer list despite choosing Michigan on September 16. By all accounts Courtney Morgan was instrumental in this California recruitment; Graham plays for an LA power program, and was an early target of Fresno State. Michigan offered in late August when the lower rung of Pac 12 schools were trying to pry Graham loose from the Broncos, a visit for the Washington game sealed it, and the upper tier of the Pac-12 leapt in too late. I bet we’ll get to use the word “motor” in short order.
