The Michigan Wolverines love their center Olusegun Oluwatimi. The transfer from Virginia meshed well with the team right away and in just a handful of months the team thought so highly of him they named him an alternate team captain.

Michigan has a 19-year-old quarterback in J.J. McCarthy, and leaning on a Rimington Award finalist like Oluwatimi has been a major positive this season.

“If you look at any good offensive line, you’ll see a good center. They’re usually the guys that make the whole thing go. And Olu is not only physically talented, but he’s really intelligent,” co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss told Jon Jansen on Tuesday.
