I guess we'll just have to get used to the first guy on the board saying yes. Andrew Sprague's rankings may not say this, but the people who brought you Zak Zinter and Andrew Stueber are all saying Michigan had one name circled above the rest in tackle prospects, and the guy that name belongs to said he's enrolling it at Michigan.
