Since Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight was a sophomore in high school he has worked with quarterback trainer Steve Clarkson.
Clarkson is a “Dream Maker” according to his website, who helped tutor a number of quarterbacks including Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Cassel. He said he saw Speight’s talent from the moment they began working together.
Speight is among the quarterbacks who have been competing for Michigan’s starting job. The season opens Saturday against Hawaii and that’s when the starter will be revealed. Speight emerged from spring practice with the slight edge over John O’Korn, a transfer from Houston who sat out last season, and Shane Morris.
