Michigan’s football staff saw Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward wide receiver Quintel Kent perform at a camp early in June. Impressed, they invited him to their camp in Ann Arbor for a second look. Not only did he impress there, he won wide receiver MVP. From there, he was offered a scholarship and would eventually commit to the Wolverines.
