STATE CHAMPS! SCOUT TEAM: Michigan football recruiting notebook — OLSM’s Arnold To BC, EK’s Brown to BG, WL Northern’s Smith to WMU
Commitments:
Kam Arnold (Orchard Lake St. Mary’s 6-foot-0, 185 CB/WR) – Arnold will sign with Boston College next week. This 3-star prospect is the consummate playmaker on both sides of the pigskin. He will probably play in the defensive backfield in the ACC.
Gabriel Brown (East Kentwood 6-5, 290 OL) – Brown has decided to ink with Bowling Green on Signing Day. Phenomenal footwork and a fearless competitor at the point of attack.
Grant Smith (Walled Lake Northern 6-6, 295 OL) – Smith accepted a preferred walk-on spot at Western Michigan, where his teammate Kyle Arnoldi is heading on a scholarship. Blood-and-guts type in the trenches who is a very underrated pass protector.

Leaving town
Belleville sophomore safety and Michigan commit Myles Rowser will play his final two years of high school football at IMG Academy down in Florida. Rowser (6-0, 170) committed to Michigan earlier this month. He considered one of the top tenth-grade prospects in the nation out of the secondary.
