Many college football teams get the majority of their recruiting done early, well before national signing day on February 6. The Michigan Wolverines are taking that approach to the extreme.
Seventh-grader Isaiah Marshall, who attends MacArthur Academy in Southfield, Michigan, tweeted Tuesday that he's already received a scholarship offer from Jim Harbaugh and the Maize and Blue:
Isaiah MarshallBlessed to receive my first offer from University of Michigan and being the youngest athlete to receive an offer from UM. #MakingHistory #StayGrinding https://t.co/DTU2IyneZu
"It happened this morning when Coach Harbaugh came to Southfield (A&T), and he reviewed a lot of his tape, broke it down and critiqued it and made the offer," his father, Brian Marshall, told David Goricki of the Detroit News.
