IOSE EPENESA: The next legacy standout

Each year around the country we see legacy prospects commit to programs with which they have some family tie. There was no stronger legacy in the Midwest this year than Epenesa who committed to Iowa back in August.

It’ll be fascinating to see if Epenesa can hit the field early for the Hawkeyes. He’s clearly got the bloodlines and will have a great understanding of what it takes to play in Iowa City. The depth chart will be wide-open next year on the defensive line, too. We could be hearing his name on Saturdays sooner than later as he begins his own legacy.

AVERY GACH: The next great offensive lineman at Michigan

One thing we know about Michigan football is that the team will always field a good offensive line. It was certainly that way under the departed Jim Harbaugh. It looks like it’ll remain that way under former offensive line coach and now head coach Sherrone Moore.

Gach has been a prospect on the rise for us recently. He’s a strong lineman with great athleticism that plays with a mean streak. Gach has all the tools to be the next great one in Ann Arbor.
