Wilton Speight makes case for Michigan quarterback job
Michigan redshirt sophomore Wilton Speight has until recently been largely considered an afterthought in the two quarterback competitions since he’s arrived in Ann Arbor. His perceived status as an also-ran hasn’t gone unnoticed by the 6-foot-6 pro-style passer.
“Yeah, and that’s one thing I would always talk to my parents about,” Speight said Tuesday night about the exterior slights. “All the media all loved to buy in to one guy or two guys and that’s how it is at any program, and I knew that. I came into camp with an open mind knowing what I was capable of and I started showing that about a week into camp.”
