State and NC State. Date of Official Visit to Michigan: Dec. 13, 2013. QUOTABLE Brady Hoke's Comments: "Don't sell Wilton short about competing. I sat with him last night, and he can't wait until spring football. He can't wait to get out there and get under center. That's one reason he came here, to compete." Tom Lemming of Prep Football Report: "Steve Clarkson, his quarterback coach, brought him out to meet me in California in January last year. I'm not saying he's Tom Brady skill-wise, but he's a bit heavier than Brady and I was impressed with his arm strength. He's perfect for a pro-style offense. He won't run for 30-40 yards at a time. He has a good arm release, and it'll be interesting to watch [offensive coordinator Doug] Nussmeier try to develop him." Why Speight Chose Michigan: "The history of the program, along with the honesty of the coaches. Also I liked not only the amazing academics but the awesome campus to go along with it." Head Coach's Comments: "I think Wilton's a pretty diverse player," said The Collegiate School head coach Mark Palyo. "He can do a whole lot more things than people want to give him credit for. Certainly we all know he can throw the ball. Not only that, it's about what he sees on the field and the decision-making process." Authentic Michigan Helmet THE WOLVERINE • P.O.
