Wilton Speight goes into ‘overdrive’ to beat UM QB competition

Ann Arbor – Wilton Speight spent some time in the San Diego area last summer with his quarterback guru Steve Clarkson, with whom he has worked since high school, focused on developing confidence.

Speight, Michigan’s starting quarterback last season, a few weeks ago was out west with Clarkson again. There he challenged himself in numerous drills with Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson and UCLA starter Josh Rosen as he prepares for Michigan’s preseason camp, where he will compete with John O’Korn and Brandon Peters.

“This time I went out and was extremely competitive with guys like Josh Rosen and Lamar Jackson in those competitive drills – throwing at targets, stuff like that,” Speight said last Saturday after Michigan’s high school quarterback camp.
