Announced earlier today, Northwood Prep defenseman Mattias Samuelsson has committed to play for Michigan.

The first thing about Samuelsson that stands out is that he is leagues ahead of his classmates physically. He towers above his opponents as a stately figure, already measuring above 6'2 and close to 200 pounds as a freshman in high school.

Samuelsson isn't just a mauler.
