Stephan Byrd has a way of making great first impressions.
The first time Canal Winchester (Ohio) head coach Joshua Stratton went to see Byrd, a then-heavily touted eighth-grader play, he scored on three of his first five touches, a run, a punt return and a reception.
On Sunday, when Byrd, now a heavily recruited sophomore running back, visited Michigan for a junior day, Jim Harbaugh immediately noticed his build and made a comment about the size of his neck during the taking of a photo.
