GBMWolverine Football Spring Evaluations: Position-by-Position — Player Profile.
GBMWolverine readers: Here is a brief overview of Jeremy Gallon and GBMWolverine’s analysis concerning his progress this spring in our opinion.
Note: We will not evaluate every player on the team and with this position group (Receivers) we will not evaluate #27 Jonathan Keizer, #85 Joe Reynolds, and #96 Baquer Sayed. If you would like to chat about this player bring them up on the message board or send us an e-mail request.
Reminder: Also noted that we didn’t attend every practice and realize things happen during those fifteen practices, but our evaluations are based on what we seen first hand and in our opinion and not what we hear like just about every other site out there that relies on second, third hand information to make their evaluations of the players during the spring.

Jeremy Gallon is a football player. Granted, he is a small football player. But, the bet here is the coaches have to love this guy. It seems a very short time ago that Jeremy played on national television at Apopka High School in Florida. He could do plenty on the field then and to some degree that still continues. Fast-forward to the open wheel route against Notre Dame that pulled victory from the teeth of pure agony and followers have viewed a guy that has stayed with the program and improved consistently.
In our opinion Jeremy was the top wide receiver for Michigan this spring. He continues to improve in this offense and seems to be a player to keep an eye on.
Jeremy made big catches in most, if not all, of the practices we attended.
He is also UM’s most dangerous receiver in the short game, and if things go right he can make one defender miss and be off to the end zone.
Jeremy even provided a bit of a vertical weapon at times, which this offense still desperately needs to force the safeties to back-up and respect the passing game. This prevents the safeties sneaking up and start coming downhill immediately as soon as the ball is snapped.
This is Jeremy’s second year learning the new position of wide out versus wide out and slot; we expect him to continue to show improvement.
He made big strides last year not only as a receiver, but also on special teams. He was miserable under RR and staff on special teams, but was very serviceable and productive when Coach Hoke and staff came to Michigan last season. He needs to continue to work on special teams and making big plays.
