ESPN published an article highlighting which college football assistant coaches are doing the best for recruiting the 2016 class. Interim DC and defensive line coach, Greg Mattison, makes ESPN’s list at No. 4. Here’s what Jeremy Crabtree wrote:
Why Mattison: Few recruiters are as savvy as Mattison, and that has paid off with a tremendous late-season recruiting push in the 2016 class. He started out solid with ESPN 300 prospects Ronald Johnson Jr. and Ben Bredeson and four-star Carlo Kemp, but luring Elliott away from Big 12 and SEC recruiters was something truly special. Not many would have been able to pull that off, especially in the competitive Lone Star State recruiting battleground, but Mattison did. Now the Wolverines have an impact defensive tackle they’ve been coveting.
