Highlighting Three Michigan Wolverines Football Commits

1. OLB Micah Pollard, Jacksonville (Fla.) Bartram Trail

Bartram Trail (2-0) will look to keep its perfect season alive in the early going against Tallahassee (Fla.) Lincoln, which is 1-1 but has scored an average of 37.5 points per game, meaning Pollard and the defense will have their hands full.

Pollard posted six tackles, including three behind the line of scrimmage in a 12-6 victory over Miami (Fla.) Columbus last week, and he's hoping to keep the momentum rolling Friday night.

2. WR Tay'Shawn Trent, Harper Woods (Mich.) High

Trent had a productive game last week, which included a touchdown grab in a 58-27 win over Pinckney (Mich.) High. Friday evening, he and 2-0 Harper Woods will face off with perennial power Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary's, which also owns a 2-0 record.

St. Mary's has a stout defense that has allowed a combined 31 points (16 and 15 in two games, respectively), meaning Trent and Co. will have to be executing at a high level to put points on the board.

3. RB CJ Stokes, Columbia (S.C.) Hammond School

Stokes enjoyed a big game last week, when he rushed for 147 yards and one touchdown in a 35-7 triumph over Charleston (S.C.) Porter Guard. He has 268 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in two contests.

Friday night, the Skyhawks will take on 0-2 Charlotte Country Day School, which has allowed 28 and 33 points in its two games, respectively. Look for Stokes to potentially post some big-time numbers once again.
