Michigan Football: QB Thomas Friberg offers upside as preferred walk-on

It was a big weekend for Michigan football and preferred walk-ons. The Wolverines have added at least six and the latest is Thomas Friberg, a dual-threat quarterback from the 2019 class.

While Friberg certainly isn’t a big-name recruit, in fact, he doesn’t even have a star rating by 247 sports, landing the quarterback, who played his high school football in State College, has to a satisfying thought for Michigan football fans, especially because both Penn State and Ohio State wanted him.

Walk-on players don’t always make headlines, but there are legit prospects that will head to a school as a preferred walk-on instead of taking a scholarship and that’s the case here.
