One of them is 4-star strong side defensive end George Karlaftis. Despite committing to hometown Purdue 367 days ago, he has built a close bond with defensive line coach Greg Mattison.
“I’ve known Coach Mattison since my sophomore year, so it’s been a good relationship,” he said to The Michigan Insider’s Brice Marich ($). “He’s a great coach and great guy. I’m very comfortable with coach Mattison. His message is that he understands my situation and wants me to be at Michigan and he believes I’m a Michigan kinda guy.”
