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.
