Recruitment

• Saw his recruitment pick up steam right before pledging to the Wolverines, hauling in offers from Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Florida State in May.

• Tight ends coach Sherrone Moore was his main recruiter.

Did You Know?

• Weighed 195 pounds after his junior season and knew he had to add weight, so he changed his diet and started eating six eggs and oatmeal for breakfast, while snacking on protein bars about every two hours. He also began regularly working out at Parrillo Performance Training Center in Fairfield, Ohio.

• Heavily persuaded Dacula (Ga.) High four-star cornerback Jalen Perry to come to Michigan during their Nov. 17 visit during the Indiana game (Perry committed two days later).

• At Nike's The Opening regional in Canton, Ohio, on May 5, 2018, he measured in at 6-4, 214 pounds and ran a 4.95 40-yard dash with a 4.27 20-yard shuttle. He also recorded 34.5 inches in the vertical jump and a 39.5-foot power ball throw, resulting in a 101.16 Nike+ Football Rating.

• Attended the U.S. Army All-American Combine in San Antonio on Jan. 5, 2017, and earned first-team All-America status from them.

• Camped at Michigan on June 18, 2018.

• Started playing football when he was four years old, despite not beginning school until he was five.

• His cousin, A'Shon Riggins, is a junior cornerback at Indiana who has started 16 games during his three-year career in Bloomington.

They Said It

Rivals.com Midwest Recruiting Analyst Josh Helmholdt: "Erick's a guy that has really grown into the tight end position during his high school career yet still kind of maintained that wide receiver playmaking ability. He's an asset in the passing game but he may not be much of an asset as an in-line guy but you can split him out and create some mismatches against linebackers and safeties in the passing game."

Fairfield head coach Jason Krause: "Erick possesses a tremendous combination of athleticism and physicality, which makes him a versatile threat to defenses. He can run, catch and loves to block. As good as he is, his greatest attribute is his work ethic and competitiveness. He goes hard every rep, whether it's in the weight room, practice or on game night. He plans to win every rep he takes."

2019 Projection

When Michigan kicks off the 2019 season, Zach Gentry will be a fifth-year senior, Sean McKeon will be a senior and Nick Eubanks will be a redshirt junior. The staff signed Missouri City (Texas) Ridge Point four-star Mustapha Muhammad and Hamden (Conn.) Hamden Hall Country Day School three-star Luke Schoonmaker in the 2018 class, but both of them redshirted this past season as freshmen. All appears to be the only tight end Michigan will take in the 2019 class, and he will likely be behind all five of the aforementioned players on the depth chart to start next fall.
