Great Heisman Campaign: Warren v. Schilling

Tim — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 21:00:33 +0000

Donovan Warren was a 4/5-star cornerback out of high school, and it’s apparent why from his highlight video:

Warren had an exception freshman season, but a number of minor injuries teamed up with some philosophical disagreements with defensive coordinator Scott Shafer teamed up to undermine his sophomore campaign. Still, he is expected to be healthy and happy once more in Ann Arbor, and should have a successful junior year.

Stephen Schilling was a highly-regarded offensive lineman coming of of Bellevue, Washington, but needed a year to redshirt before he was able to contribute. As a redshirt freshman, he started every game, mostly at right tackle. He also played right tackle on last year’s line, but improved depth at the position has allowed him to move to guard, his more natural position. Schilling is expected one of the most important pieces on what looks to be a strong Michigan o-line in 2009.

The Great Heisman Campaign: Warren v. Stokes

Tim — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:02:20 +0000

Donovan Warren is a junior corner coming off a down year. After being named a Freshman All-American, Warren struggled a bit as a sophomore. That said, he is still a major physical talent, and if he can remain healthy for the entire year, he stands to be one of Michigan’s most important players.

Je’Ron Stokes is an incoming freshman, and a 4-star recruit to both of the major recruiting sites. He will play wide receiver and slot, and perhaps even have the opportunity to return kicks and punts. He is an electrifying playmaker who will benefit from the Rodriguez offense’s ability to get playmakers in space.
