It’s funny to think about now, but a few months back when former defensive line coach Greg Mattison announced his departure from Michigan football to Ohio State, there was panic.
Mattison was supposed to be a Michigan man, he was also one of the Wolverines best recruiters. He had a track record of not only landing big-time recruits but also developing them into big-time players in the NFL.
Maurice Hurst, Rashan Gary, Chase Winovich, Taco Charlton, Chris Wormley, Willie Henry are just some of the guys who Mattison developed into NFL draft picks. And with his recruiting chops in the midwest, losing him to Ohio State seemed like a blow.
