Defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin has made it no secret he wants Michigan's corners to be more aggressive and will expect them to play more man and press-man this season. Going forward, the Wolverines will recruit cornerbacks who can play in that type of scheme.
Most recent commit Sir Patrick Scott fits that mold. Hailing from Upper Marlboro (Md.) Riverdale Baptist, Scott has been asked to play on an island for his high school. Having grown to 192 pounds at over 6-foot-1, he has the size to be physical and reroute wideouts at the line of scrimmage.
"He will be a four-year varsity starter for us," Baptist head coach Casear Nettles says.
