In-state kicker JJ McGrath will announce in 10 minutes-EDIT-MICHIGAN!

He'll choose between Michigan, LSU, and Southern Miss. If he commits to Michigan it will be as a preferred walk-on. McGrath is a left-footed kicker who had a career long of 57 yards (not sure if he broke that this season).

Are the others offering scholarships?

That I don't know. The recruiting sites do not report any offers, but 247 has quite the "interests" list...this kid definitely has talent.

I am not 100% but I did not think he had scholarship offers. I think he stays in state. Just a hunch.

McGrath picks MICHIGAN! Will have a chance to earn scholarship when Gibbons graduates.

Great, need kickers, always. I like Gibbons, what an improvement he has made. I really like Wile too. Strong leg, and can do both place kick and punt. I think Hagerup is gone.

I hope McGrath works out. He is two years behind Wile. Perfect timing. Need to get a punter in the 2014 class IMHO.

I love that kickers with no scholarship offers are now doing these announcement pressers.

Glad he is coming to AA. The kicking game is important. We all still remember the days of RR holding tryouts on campus right?

Is Hagerup still on the team? I think he was just suspended but I say give him the boot (pun intended) and let this kid have his scholarship.

McGrath informed the coaches last week he was BLUE. Just made it public today. As of this morning at the coaches clinic, Hoke stated Hagerup was still suspended.

Dude is one big kid-

a la Bear Gibbons....? lol

Or even Rivas.

Both were some serious chunkers.

Someone want to put together a tale of the tape. I put new guy up against anyone. Unless that picture is deceiving, he makes Hoke look average.

Rivals has JJ at 6'3 228lb.

The only kicker in his high school history never to get made fun of.
