Learning the pace of college football, the scheme of college football, and playing at a whole new level now." Hudson noted that his former player has already shown signs of the growth he'll make during his time in Ann Arbor. "You could tell already that he's benefitting from the weight room and the nutrition program and all of that," Hudson said. "There's transi- tion time for anyone, and especially these kids who are in six months earlier than most kids are." For Cole, that adjustment should pay dividends on the field during his U-M career. — Tim Sullivan PERSONAL Mason Connor Cole was born March 28, 1996 … Boasts a maximum bench press of 315 pounds … Runs the 40-yard dash in 5.1 seconds … One of four East Lake seniors to play FBS football (wide receiver Artavis Scott, enrolled at Clem- son, held a Michigan offer) … Junior teammate George Campbell is a five-star wide receiver who was committed to Michigan until January … Originally from Chicago, has lived in Florida since he was 8 … Enrolled in January.
