  Draft Scout by Conference









  By the time spring football started in late February, center Olu Oluwatimi already knew the playbook and all the calls. Considering Oluwatimi, a 6-foot-3, 310-pound grad transfer from Virginia who enrolled in January, that's a significant amount of learning in such a short amount of time. He acclimated quickly to his new team and environment and said his transition to Michigan was smooth. It isn't always easy for a player to transfer in, be the new guy and build relationships with teammates he has only just met.

But it didn't take long for Oluwatimi, a finalist last year for the Rimington Award given to the nation's best center, to make an impression. "One of the first days we put on pads, one-on-one pass rush, we saw him lock up some of our better D-linemen," left tackle Ryan Hayes said recently. "We go, 'Yeah, this guy is gonna be pretty good for us.' We knew early. He's gonna bring a lot of experience, a lot of maturity to our group." Running back Blake Corum smiled as he listened to Hayes' assessment. He also wanted to chime in on Oluwatimi, who is projected to be Michigan's starting center this fall. "One of the linebackers told me Olu got hold of him one practice, and the grip he had on him, he couldn't get out of it," Corum said. "He's a strong guy." Oluwatimi entered the NCAA's transfer portal in December after Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall stepped down. He has one year of eligibility, his bonus COVID-19 year, remaining. - Detroit News
