Kevin MacDonald still remembers the moment.

It was January 2017 and MacDonald, the head coach at Milton Academy in Boston, was feeling ill.

The only problem: he had a persistent visitor that day.

Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown was in town, and he wanted to talk to MacDonald about one of Milton Academy's top players.

"I just remember I had a stomach bug, and Donny calls me and says, ‘Come up to your office,' " MacDonald told the Free Press on Thursday afternoon.
