Michigan sophomore Mellie Poggi has no idea what she’ll wear for Saturday’s football game against Maryland.
Her older brother, Henry Poggi, is a U-M fullback. She usually shows her support by wearing maize and blue.
But Michigan (8-0) will be hosting Maryland (2-5), where another brother, Melvin Keihn, is a redshirt sophomore defensive end.
Keihn was a high school teammate of Henry, whose father, Biff, was the head coach for 19 seasons at the Gilman School, a prestigious boys school in Maryland. Keihn moved in with the Poggis and has remained part of their family, spending time with them on vacations and holidays.
