National Signing Day 2011: Brady Hoke Announces Michigan's Recruiting Class

New Michigan football coach Brady Hoke discussed the 20 players who signed letters of intent today at an early afternoon press conference.

Hoke identified these players as ones who would represent Michigan, represent the team, and play a tougher brand of physical football.

You could easily see the grin when he described his two offensive line recruits, Chris Bryant (6’5,  330) of Chicago and Tony Posada (6’4, 325) of Tampa.

“Bryant’s a refrigerator with legs and arms," Hoke quipped.

And Posada, well, Hoke just repeatedly emphasized a more physical style of play. 

Michigan’s class is made up of 20 future Wolverines, with only cornerback Greg Brown enrolling early. The Wolverines actually have a few scholarships available, and could sign another player or two before the April deadline.
