Michigan, Ohio All-State teams littered with future Wolverines

High school players that are recruited by the University of Michigan - or any Division I football program - are typically the cream of the crop. After all, if they weren't among the best high school players, they wouldn't be receiving college attention. It's still nice, however, to receive another piece of validation. The release of Associated Press All-State teams in Michigan and Ohio further honors several players who will go on to college careers in Ann Arbor.
