Be My Friend...Godfather?

Michigan's latest 2009 commit is none other than 4-star Virginia QB Kevin Newsome.



Newsome is ranked #39 on Rivals.com and is the 3rd top 50 commitment of Michigan's 2009 recruiting class.

"If you're good enough for the NFL, you're good enough for the NFL," he said. "Anywhere you go in the country, as a quarterback, you are going to have to do what you have to do to become a better quarterback from studying film, repetition throwing the football, working with your wide receivers and working with the athletes and obviously Michigan's going to have the athletes. Just like anywhere else, you're going to have to pay your dues and work hard."

"I really loved the coaching staff with Coach Rodriguez and Coach Jackson," he said. "I love the winning tradition of Michigan. I really believe Michigan is the Godfather of college football and that's what makes the Michigan-Ohio State game so notorious."

So, can you help make OSU the Fredo?

"We called the coaches this morning and Kevin talked to Coach [Rich] Rodriguez and committed," Kevin Newsome Sr. told Rivals.com's Mike Farrell this morning. "Coach Rodriguez was excited."

Newsome passed for 1,500 yards and ran for 600 in his junior season in high school.

And of course, what would a 4-star football recruit be without a YouTube mix-tape???


What?! No music?

Welcome to the family Kevin...now kiss the ring!
