Opening Comments:

Jourdan is one of the two Cass Tech players to commit to Michigan on Saturday, February 18th.

He is a player very similar to previous Cass Tech corner-backs that have selected Michigan as a college choice.

Overview:

Jourdan is a great athlete and is super fast.

He is one of the talented players that provided Coach Wilcher a great talent base in last year’s championship team.

He could play defense or offense at UM and very well could contribute to special teams.

Strengths:

Lewis is a Wolverine

He moves his feet very well and can be a very hard hitter, especially for his size.

Jourdan can out jump taller receivers and is always around the ball.

Besides being quick as described above, Jourdan can be very explosive.

Needs work:

At 5’9 taller (yes there are numerous height measurements) Jourdan will need to be even more physical than he currently is.

At the next level any corner will be playing against guys who are over 200 pounds, are great athletes, can run 4.4 speed, or all of the above.

As such big wide receivers will always be a challenge.

Obviously Jourdan will need to be dedicated in the weight room.

Like many high school players with plenty of athleticism, Jourdan will need to play more sound technique at his position. T

his will come with time, effort, and coaching.

Final Thoughts:

Jourdan’s biggest asset is his athletic upside.

Cass Tech players have provided a good pipeline and Michigan appears very willing to continue the tradition.

We welcome Jourdan Lewis 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 PLAY/RED-SHIRT his first year.

Jourdan Lewis reminds the GBMWolverine Staff of — Former Michigan Football Player — Terry Richardson — who played Corner-back and a fellow Cass Tech player.
