Ann Arbor — You can tell a rookie when you see one.
Michigan freshman defensive lineman Aubrey Solomon made his first start last week against Rutgers and then made his first appearance at media availability — wonder which meant more? — Tuesday night after practice.
Solomon started to answer his first question, then stopped.
“I have a question real quick,” he said to the video-camera toting reporters. “Where do I look?”
Told it didn’t matter, Solomon answered with an exaggerated “oooooookayyyy” and then launched into several topics, among them how he didn’t expect to start, how he’s had to forsake his true love — chicken tenders and fries — to maintain about a 25-pound weight loss, and how he owes teammate Kwity Paye dinner for winning the first-to-a-sack contest.
