COMPETITION VERSUS SILLY GAMES

One of the more impressive performers at Ohio State's Friday Night Lights camp last month was Belleville, Michigan, offensive tackle Devontae Dobbs. The 6-foot-5, 270-pound sophomore was extended a scholarship offer that night, adding to a list that included Auburn, Florida, Michigan State, Missouri, Penn State and Tennessee.

You can add another name to the list, too, as Dobbs was offered by Michigan following the BBQ at the Big House event over the weekend.

“They were pretty similar,” he told 247Sports when asked to compare the two recruiting events. “One I was competing at and one was more talking to people and doing games and stuff.”

Though I'm curious what games Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh likes to play, Dobbs said he enjoyed both experiences. And while there's still a long way to go in his recruitment, it's clear which two teams top his list.

“They are both powerhouses. Both can win championships,” he said. “I have to look at the coaches and the academics.”

Dobbs is considered by 247Sports as the top prospect in the state of Michigan and the No. 14 player overall in the Class of 2019.
