Caden Kolesar, son of John Kolesar, commits to Michigan as gray shirt

Caden Kolesar, a lifelong Michigan fan, is following his father, John, and grandfather, Bill, to play football for the Wolverines.

He announced his commitment Tuesday morning as a gray shirt and his scholarship will count in the 2020 class. The Kolesars are part of the Michigan football fabric. The late Bill Kolesar was a tackle (1953-1955) and John Kolesar was a receiver (1985-1988).

Caden Kolesar, a 5-foot-10, 195-pound safety, helped lead St. Edward High in Cleveland to a Division I state championship. He was first-team all-state.

The family, not surprisingly, is thrilled the Kolesar legacy at Michigan will continue.
