  Draft Scout by Conference









  Make no mistake, Olu Oluwatimi likes to have fun and joke around and is especially fond of cooking. But since his arrival earlier this year as a graduate transfer from Virginia, the experienced center has been all about football and acclimating to his new team. Oluwatimi started 32 straight games at center for the Cavaliers and last season was one of three finalists for the Rimington Award presented to the nation's top center. He will now anchor Michigan's offensive line, which won the Joe Moore Award last season as the nation's top line, and has been turning heads and drawing praise from his new teammates since before spring practice.

There are five individuals who start on an offensive line, but it's the position group most often described as a unit. The five must play in sync to work well. Oluwatimi said it took him a month to absorb the playbook, but his main focus has been on playing as one with his fellow linemen. "At the center position, it's more than just picking up the offense," Oluwatimi told The Detroit News at a recent team event with the Michigan National Guard. "You've got to jell with the guys around you. All of that is still a work in progress." Michigan opens preseason camp the first week of August, but Oluwatimi already seems to have acclimated well to his new school and team. "It's like he's been here four years," Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy said. "Besides his God-given talents and his freakish physique, that mental aspect is what is going to make him a first-round (NFL) pick in my eyes. Everything about him has been hitting the ground running, smooth. He's a leader on this team already." - Detroit News
