Jordan Kovacs

Even prior to last season, I was hoping he would get beat out. Now, it is pretty obvious that the guy can flat out play. May even end up in the NFL after it is all said and done. I like the guy.

And, how great is this line: "I'm going to keep mine short and sweet, because I hate public speaking," Kovacs opened to the crowd. "But coach (Brady) Hoke assured me if I got up here and thought about brunette girls, I'd be all right."

And this from Kevin Koger:

Koger closed by sharing how much he learned about being a Michigan Man from Hoke, because of the emphasis placed on learning the program's rich history. That started in training camp, when Hoke distributed "manuals" on the team's past.

"I don't tell a lot of people this, but I'll tell you guys: I learned more during camp this year from that book in three weeks than I did in my first three years at Michigan," Koger said. "And that's just a testament to the type of person Coach Hoke is."

Brunettes are a theme in A2 these days....
