Michigan Friday: Surprise - it's Big Willie Allen!

Normally, I don't wake up expecting Michigan to land a grad transfer OT from Louisiana Tech University.   Today, it not like any other and Michigan has picked up just that person. 

Michigan landed "Big" Willie Allen a former 4 star OT prospect that transferred from LSU to LA Tech.  Willie is 6'6 343 pounds and is considered an NFL prospect.   He had some COVID issues missed the first 2 games of the season and decided to transfer to a place that could help him get to the League.  

He will enroll in the Spring and be part of the 2021 class and eligible for 1 year.   So he won't be suiting up in a week and could be a great replacement for Mayfield after he turns pro after the season.  

Welcome Big Man! 

  • The Good News continues?  Michigan is expected to land 2021 4 star #81 ranked player in the country Branden Jennings an ILB from Jacksonville today.  100% CB's to Michigan.  He is a UA All American and playing in that all star game. 

  • Michigan is a road dog next weekend and getting +2.5 points against the Golden Gophers.  Thank you Big Ten for the road trip/night game.  

  • I'm also getting concerned if we are slowly watching COVID take over football.   NFL Colts today reported multiple positives,  Florida has over 20 positives this week, Saban is trying to find a way to coach against Georgia after testing positive, Baylor is having a breakout, other games cancelled or postponed.   If/when this happens in the Big Ten,  the players that test positive is basically going to miss 3 games.   It its a team outbreak that is 3 games cancelled.   Fun Times!
