The first from a very talented Farmington Hills Harrison recruiting class has made his decision on where he will be playing his college football after next season. Brady Hoke and Michigan beat out several Big 10 teams including Michigan State as well as Big 12 teams like Missouri and Nebraska to land one of the state’s to tight end recruits in Devin Funchess.
The 6-5 Funchess is a sure handed prospect which should fit in well in Michigan’s pro-style offense that Hoke brings. As a junior on Harrison’s state championship team, Funchess proved to be a “go to guy” for Tommy Vento, hauling in 34 catches for over 700 yards and five touchdowns. Funchess should continue to develop as a senior and possibly earn himself some early playtime at Michigan.
It should be interesting to see what effect Funchess’s decision has on highly touted teammates, defensive tackle Mario Ojemudia, who is mulling over offers from Big 10 schools as well as Stanford and Syracuse, and wide receiver Aaron Burbridge, who is also looking over offers from the Big 10 and Notre Dame.
Both Burbridge and Ojemudia have received offers from Michigan, but like Funchess, they have also received offers from Michigan State. If Hoke and Michigan can bring in all three players from Harrison, it should make for an outstanding recruiting class for 2012.
