Incoming: Jake Butt

Jake marks the 7th verbal commitment to the class of 2013 from the most glorious weekend of college recruiting evar, and the 10th overall. You got a problem with that? Didn't think so.

Jake Butt

Scout: NR DE
Rivals: ★★★★ TE, #96 Ovr
ESPN: ★★★★ DE, ESPNU 150
24/7: ★★★★, #10 TE

Jake may have a funny last name, but all lowbrow jokes aside, he's a huge addition to the 2013 class. Tight end is an area of much need for Michigan right now. It's too bad we have to wait a year to get this kid on campus because we could surely use him right now. Jake hails from Pickerington, OH. He's a classmate of fellow 2013 commit DE Taco Charlton.

He's listed at 6-6, around 225 pounds – ideal height and weight for a high school TE prospect, especially one so highly rated at him. He's also listed as DE by ESPN. But considering our overall needs at each position, he could very easily see the field immediately as a TE, where out need is much higher.
