Trieu: 'Sky's the limit' for Michigan target Alex VanSumeren, brother of UM running back

Michigan will welcome Essexville Garber sophomore defensive lineman Alex VanSumeren back to campus on Saturday for their rivalry game against Michigan State.

VanSumeren is the younger brother of Wolverines tailback Ben VanSumeren. Michigan along with Kentucky and Central Michigan have extended early offers to Alex. He also has attracted attention from other schools like Wisconsin and Notre Dame, and plans to give those programs a close look despite the family tie to Michigan.

After a dominant sophomore season, more schools are likely to find their way to the younger VanSumeren.
