EAST KENTWOOD - Mazi Smith was greeted with handshakes, a few backslaps and plenty of congratulations after arriving in East Kentwood High School's weight room Monday afternoon.
Smith, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound four-star defensive tackle, announced on Twitter Sunday night that he had committed to the University of Michigan. But it was back to work for Smith, who is gearing up for his senior season.
