Partridge isn’t the only member of the recruiting staff espousing Michigan’s many virtues. He has two partners in that effort, starting with Matt Doherty. The former University of Miami recruiting coordinator has played a key role in helping Michigan expand its footprint in the talent rich state of Florida. Doherty was the point man at satellite camp in Miami, and the Wolverines have already picked up four commitments from prospects from that area. Delray Beach (Fla.) Atlantic cornerback Antwaine Richardson, Cooper City (Fla.) defensive end Rashad Weaver, and Pembroke Pines (Fla.) Flanagan safeties Josh Metellus Devin Gil have all committed to Michigan in the last month. The Maize & Blue is also among the favorites to land Flanagan four-star linebacker Devin Bush.
The Sunshine State, though, is a fraction of Doherty’s recruiting responsibilities. He assists in much of the national recruiting effort also. The third rung in Michigan’s recruiting wheel, however, is much more specialized.
