GBMWolverine Comment:

Michigan is once again out in full force targeting recruits and ahead of the rest. Swenson was a Michigan camper so the staff was able to see this young man first hand, in person, and was able to judge off of football films that they indeed liked what they saw. Michigan being the “dream” school for him as a freshman is nice, but it doesn’t really mean anything until he is a senior and signs his letter of intent. There is no higher Michigan can go down, but they can fall from here and others schools know now who the leader is at this time.

Michigan Football Recruiting: Lawrence Marshall (DE) — 2014 Wolverine Verbal Commit — Profile

GBMWolverine Readers: Here is an overview of recent verbal commitment Lawrence Marshall.

Lawrence Marshall is one of the top football prospects in Michigan. On most recruiting lists, Lawrence is listed around number five.

Lawrence has length and the frame to get bigger. He also possesses a high level of athletic skill. Players can be coached in technique, scheme, etc. but size and athletic ability come with the athlete.

Lawrence Marshall is already well known by those who follow football recruiting from his winter commitment to Ohio State and the subsequent de-commitment a few days later. Although still listing Columbus as a potential destination, his comments soon led one to infer that Michigan and Michigan State held significant interest.

After several trips to East Lansing and Ann Arbor, Lawrence Marshall committed to attend Michigan on Saturday, May 11. By his comments, Lawrence seems very comfortable with his second commitment. There will, of course, be talk among some until signing day as to whether or not this commitment sticks. The view here is that Lawrence has indeed reached the end of the line. The real question is will one or more nationally ranked programs recruit Lawrence unmercifully as the process continues forward?

Michigan has made no secret regarding the intended upgrade to the pass-rushing proficiency of the defense. Clearly, the staff has identified the puzzle parts wanted to succeed in the above venture. And, it must be inferred that Lawence is indeed one of the identified puzzle parts.
