Wolverine TV: Breaking down new OL commit Louis Esposito
Michigan landed a commitment from rising 2027 Saline (Mich.) High offensive lineman Louis Esposito this weekend.
The Wolverine’s EJ Holland breaks down Esposito in the video at the end of this story.
Esposito Recruitment
Esposito camped at Michigan and earned an offer from the Wolverines on the spot. He called Michigan his ‘dream’ school and committed just a month later.
The in-state prospect picked Michigan over offers from Louisville, Pitt, Purdue and others.
Esposito is the son of Michigan defensive line coach Lou Esposito. However, Louis is an intriguing prospect in his own right.
Here is what Holland had to say about Louis.
“Louis earned an offer from Michigan after camping in front of offensive line coach Grant Newsome,” Holland said. “This wasn’t a situation where Michigan offered just because he’s the son of Lou Esposito. They really liked what they saw from him at camp. He recently grew a couple of inches and has the frame to add some really good weight.”
