Meet Michael Barrett, Michigan’s secret weapon

The 2018 Michigan recruiting class featured a highly intriguing player out of the state of Georgia, Michael Barrett.

The 5-11 215 pound high school quarterback rushed for 2,647 yards and 38 touchdowns in his career, while throwing for over 4,000 yards and 46 touchdowns. Barrett was the Georgia 7-A Player of the Year.

Barrett will be used as far more than a quarterback at Michigan. According to Jim Harbaugh, the athlete will be used at running back and wide receiver as well. While Barrett may have been deemed a three star recruit, his talent exceeds his ranking.
