Michigan FB Sione Houma plays the ukulele, is as tough as a 'coconut' and is having a blast

ANN ARBOR -- The irony really isn't lost on Sione Houma.

Moments after dissecting his downfield route-running skills and his inability to create proper yards after catch last Saturday in a lopsided win over Rutgers, Michigan's 6-foot, 243-pound suddenly versatile Polynesian sensation stops and admits the reality of the situation.

He never expected any of this. Not even a little bit.

"I'm just taking everything in," Houma said this week. "Trying to make the most of it."

Through nine games, he's certainly doing a fine job of that.

Houma came to Michigan out of Highland High School in Utah as a 2012 signee.
