Linebacker Deuce Spurlock comes to Ann Arbor from one of the more unlikely recruiting grounds for the Michigan Wolverines: Alabama. In an area dominated by Alabama, Auburn and the SEC at-large, Jim Harbaugh and his staff were able to pluck the athletic three-star recruit from the bottom of the map and bring him to the north.
Spurlock was undersized in high school, primarily playing safety and wide receiver, until his senior season saw him expand in all directions. Listed in high school at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, Spurlock, who appeared every bit of 215 pounds on tape as a senior, began playing a hybrid linebacker position in his final prep season.
