Ann Arbor – Michigan’s Cesar Ruiz has said he was born to play center.
And after five starts last season at guard as a freshman, Ruiz is anchoring the Wolverines’ offensive line and has so far received high marks from first-year Michigan line coach Ed Warinner.
Ruiz is affable and chatty but dead serious about playing the position. When asked Monday why he’s a good fit at center, the 6-foot-4, 319-pounder could have just relied on a look that said it all.
