2012 NFL Draft Recap: Michigan Wolverines

The 2012 NFL Draft saw three former Wolverines get drafted over this last weekend. Mike Martin, David Molk and Junior Hemingway were drafted by the Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs, respectively. While these were the only three to be drafted, a few others are expected to sign free agent deals with a few other teams. Here is the breakdown for these Wolverines for this years draft:


Mike Martin, DT = Tennessee Titans - Round 3, #19, #82 Overall
David Molk, C = San Diego Chargers - Round 7, #19, #226 Overall
Junior Hemingway, WR = Kansas City Chiefs, Round 7, #31, #238 Overall


Ryan Van Bergen, DE = Carolina Panthers, Undrafted Free Agent
Troy Woolfolk, DB = Dallas Cowboys, Undrafted Free Agent
Michael Shaw, RB = Washington Redskins, Undrafted Free Agent


That is what has transpired so far. Hopefully, Kevin Koger is able to find himself on an NFL roster as well. His achilles surgery is probably what made him drop off of teams' radars, but maybe he will be able to heal from it just fine and wander onto a team. Congrats to these players and good luck in the League. Go Blue!

New Wolverine: Wyatt Shallman

Wyatt Shallman, from Novi (MI) Detroit Catholic Central, was the first of eight recruits that committed to Michigan over the past weekend. Shallman is / was recruited to play running back for Michigan, even though his body type resembles more of a defensive end than running back. Being listed at 6'3" and 245 lbs. (according to Scout) is not usual for the running back spot. However, Shallman has pretty good speed for his size and the coaches believe he could be a good change of pace back (compared to the other running backs Michigan is recruiting). I personally like the idea of seeing Shallman plow into the defensive line and just bowling linebackers over, but I guess we will see when he gets to campus if he grew too much to be effective at running back. Time will tell with Shallman. 

Note: Other notable recent Detroit Catholic Central players for Michigan include: Mike Martin (class of 2008) and Matt Godin (class of 2012).

The following are the current recruiting rankings for Wyatt Shallman:

Scout: 4*, #1 FB, #179 Overall

Rivals: 4*, #10 Athlete, #160 Overall

ESPN: 3*, 79 - Scout Grade, #1 FB, #8 MI

247: 4*, 90 - 247 Rating, #13 SDE, #5 MI
