Here is the first GBMWolverine post-commit profile for the very versatile Wyatt Shallman.

Overview:

Wyatt is a very versatile player, one who could help Michigan at many different spots.

As testimony to athletic ability, note some of the measurables that are nearly off the chart.

This includes a 4.1 shuttle and a 38-inch vertical jump, all at 245 pounds.

Wyatt is also a very good student at a top prep school!

Strengths:

Shallman is a Wolverine

He is super strong and very aggressive.

Wyatt keeps his shoulders square and his feet moving.

He is light on his feet and shows good agility.

Wyatt has a very good get off and 1st step.

He runs with good pad level.

Needs work:

Wyatt takes on blockers with his shoulders instead of hands.

Also he has a habit of over running plays.

Final Thoughts:

The primary question surrounding Wyatt is where he will play?

He has indicated a clear preference to run the football, and that may happen.

But there are other possibilities for Wyatt, including fullback, H-back- and defender.

The bottom line is Wyatt is skilled enough to play somewhere and play with a level of excellence.

We welcome Wyatt Shallman to Michigan and hope he has a successful career on and off the football field as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan. Go Blue!

Red-shirt or play his Freshman Year?

GBMWolverine believes he will likely red-shirt his first year, but depending on situation he might be forced to play earlier than needed.

Wyatt Shallman reminds the GBMWolverine Staff of — Former Michigan Football Player — Aaron Shea — who played Fullback/H-Back/Tight End.
