The Wolverine's EJ Holland spent some time in New Jersey last week and had a chance to catch up with 2021 Rivals250 Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter's Prep defensive lineman George Rooks, a top remaining priority for Michigan this cycle.

Read their full Q&A below.

EJ: You don’t sound too excited to do an interview (laughs). Why do you try to stay low key when it comes to your recruitment?

GR: I try to stay low key because recruiting is a bit of a tough process. I can’t do official visits or anything like that. I’m just trying to get my mind focused on what’s the right thing for me.

EJ: Before we dive into recruiting, what’s your offseason been like?

GR: Offseason is great. My team has been focused. My defensive line has been really focused. I’m really proud of that. J'Vonne Parker (former NFL defensive lineman), my dad and my brother are all working everyday. I’m always texting (Parker) and seeing what I need to do better and sending him film from last year. I’m just trying to do the best I can early on.
