Michigan’s latest commitment was one of the most surprising top 100 talents to fall into their laps in recent history. Four-star Branden Jennings is the fourth linebacker in Michigan’s class, and the highest rated. He’s a strong, hard hitter but his game will look a little different to Michigan fans watching the linebackers in the past few seasons.
For this scouting report, I watched a Sandalwood game from just a couple weeks ago against Clearwater Academy International. Sandalwood won a close one 39-38, in which Jennings had 15 tackles.
Jennings has had excellent production from the middle linebacker spot for Sandalwood the past couple years on varsity, posting back-to-back seasons with more than 100 tackles.
