Father Of Michigan’s Newest Pledge Was An OSU Fan, Now Bleeds Maize And Blue

Michigan landed the commitment from four-star DE Elias Rudolph. Ranked as a top 250 recruit, Rudolph, who is from Cincy but spent the past year in Florida, apparently had a father who was once an Ohio State fan. As On3’s Zach Libby notes, George Lisembee told him that he once bleed red but now is Maize and Blue.
