Darian Roseboro to Michigan: Wolverines Land 4-Star DE Prospect

Given the importance of pass-rushing in today's football world, the news of 4-star defensive end Darian Roseboro committing to Michigan has huge ramifications for the 2015 recruiting class. 

247Sports' Steve Lorenz first broke the news about Roseboro's decision:

"

As Wolverine247 predicted and many believed, Michigan has secured the commitment of four-star defensive end Darian Roseboro, beating out home-state N.C. State and North Carolina among others for his pledge.

"

Roseboro, the nation's No. 7 strong-side defensive end recruit and No. 109 prospect overall based on 247Sports' composite ratings, has turned into a pass-rushing monster at Lincolnton High School in North Carolina over the last three years. 

According to 247Sports, Roseboro had more than 30 offers from top programs across the country and was seriously considering six in early August. On that list was Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, North Carolina State, North Carolina and Tennessee. 

He said on Twitter, via Pack Pride, that those were his final six schools and the decision would come at the end of August:

As a freshman, Roseboro was already a beast with 107 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks. Those are scary numbers for a quality high school senior, let alone a player in his first season at that level. 

Yet when you look at the constant evolution for Roseboro, it's easy to see why power schools like Alabama, Michigan and Clemson were all after him. His performance continued to improve with 107 tackles, 30 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 2012 to go along with four forced fumbles. He followed that up by posting 125 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and 11 sacks as a junior. 

Every school across the country needs help rushing the quarterback. Since defensive backs are all but forbidden from touching wide receivers, having a player who can get in the backfield is paramount to success on defense. 

Roseboro brings a ferocious, attacking style and insane athleticism at 6'4", 285 pounds with a 4.64 40-yard time to the next level. The scary thing is, he will only get better with more seasoning and higher-level coaching.
