Lifelong Michigan fan Matt Godin today made his commitment public to the Wolverines 2012 recruiting class. He had been a silent commit since the Michigan Spring Game.
Matt is a 6'5 253 pound defensive line player and the position he will play at U of M is still a bit of a mystery. He could play DE or DT. My vote would be for DT but I will intrust Greg Mattison with that important decision.
Matt plays for Michigan HS football power Detroit Catholic Central out of Novi and happens to be close friends with Flint's 2012 defensive lineman Danny O'Brien. Matt is rated 3 stars by Scouts and 4 stars by 24/7 and had offers from Wisconsin, BC, MSU, Cincy, Duke, Vandy, Missouri and others.
Why he chose Michigan: "Because they are in my blood. I used to cry over games and I'm never going to get a better opportunity to come in early and contribute."
Love it!
I would expect Matt to redshirt year 1 while he works on his strength and technique. The recruiting sites that have seen him play think he is very athletic for a big man and has a great frame.
I really like this pick up for a number reasons that include; he is an instate kid, he loves Michigan and plays a position of need for the Wolverines.
The wish list for the rest of class includes: couple offensive lineman, a QB (less of a need with one in 2013), a highly rated RB, 1 WR, couple DT's, 1 DE (named Chris Wormley) and a some guys to play in the defensive backfield (CB and Safety).
