Michigan football: 5 Recruits that could change the game for Wolverines
APB
This next guy is terrifyingly fast and even when you do catch him, he does this shake-juke-spin thing that makes him impossible to bring down. On top of that, he could jump over you or just run between your legs.
I’m referring to the 5-foot-9- inch Daniyel Ngata, also from California.
How is it possible to pack that much power into such a small frame? He blocks, catches, and scores and sometimes all on the same down. Watch the entire highlight reel above and tell me how someone at 5-foot-9 and 180-pounds can do what he does on such a consistent basis.
His incredible abilities have landed him inside the top 50 athletes from around the country. He currently sits at No. 48, and second for his position. In California, he is ranked 10th and he holds a 9746 composite rating and four stars. If he continues to use those cheat code type moves for his final season, Ngata could earn himself that fifth star.
Michigan made the top 11 for Ngata; however, UM did not make the recent top seven list despite the ‘close’ relationship with running backs coach Jay Harbaugh.
“Coach Jay has been in contact with me for a long time, and said a few things and he has a special plan for the next few years,” Ngata told Maize n Brew. “I think (Jay and I) are really close. He talks to me at least every week. Not even just about football — just like social life and all that.
“He said if I had came, there would be four scholarship running backs and then from there I just got to work.”
All it takes is one official visit and everything could change.
247Sports has no idea where Ngata is leaning and Rivals has him 60% Clemson and 40% undecided.
