Michigan signee George Washington II visits

He told BVMSports.com Michigan was exactly what he was looking for in a school.
“A lot went into it,” Washington III said of his pledge. “The environment at Michigan is a family. Those guys all care about each other. The coaches all care about the guys. It feels like everyone is there to see each other win.
“Being able to see everything I’ve worked for, everything my parents have poured into, all the workouts with my sister where she kicked my butt all paid off,” Washington III said. “Now I’m in a situation where I can be like, ‘Okay, that part is taken care of.’”
