The recruitment of George Rooks had most Michigan fans bewildered until the very end. Some were predicting the New Jersey recruit to head to the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Others predicted the defensive tackle to head to Penn State just a day before he actually committed to the Michigan Wolverines. For a position of need at defensive tackle, picking up a surprise commitment of this nature is quite the nice surprise.
Projecting where George Rooks will end up is a different story. He’s a lean 270 pounds at 6’4, and has been deployed primarily as a defensive end throughout his high school career.
