New Wolverine: Willie Henry


Willie Henry, a defensive tackle from Cleveland (OH) Glenville, committed to the Wolverines yesterday / today (depending on who you listen to). Henry is a mid to low 3* DT according to the four major recruiting services. The scouts mostly like his burst off the line but you can tell that he is a raw player that will need some coaching up. I, personally, love the catch since defensive tackle is a somewhat slim position as far as depth is concerned. Especially with Martin and Van Bergen graduating. 

Henry could turn into a solid contributor in the next couple years if he is able to refine his skills more and pack on some weight. With Hoke, Montgomery, and Mattison as his coaches, I have little doubt in what he could become. Plus, it definitely helps getting a second player from Glenville in as many years, since it has been an Ohio State talent hotbed for years. 

Below is the recruiting rankings for Willie Henry:
   Scout:   3*, #38 DT
   Rivals:  3*, NR DT
   ESPN:  3*, 75 - Scouts Grade, #97 DT
   247:      3*, 83 - 247 Rating, #75 DT
