Smith Snowden impressed by Michigan's 'baller' cornerbacks
Smith Snowden, a transfer from Utah, is embracing his new Michigan football teammates and is impressed by the talent in the cornerbacks' room.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Smith Snowden had all of the options on the table. He could have remained at Utah, where he was familiar.
He could have transferred to a top-flight program like Oregon or Notre Dame, both of which hosted him on visits. But he decided to follow his head coach, Kyle Whittingham, to another top-flight program and join the Wolverines . And now that he's getting acclimated to his surroundings, he's enjoying every moment of it.
Snowden feels like he's been embraced by and is embracing his new teammates. While the previous coaching staff for Michigan football (more so the head coach than anything) has been the subject of derision, Snowden appreciates what he was building. And in the cornerbacks' room, he feels like there's the right balance of personalities -- which has helped him get comfortable, as well as thrive.
"Yeah, I think I get along with everyone really well," Snowden said. "I actually just did an interview. I was telling them that this year, the coaching staff and the previous coaching staff did a really good job of just recruiting the right guys and who are team guys and locker room guys who aren't going to cause straight chaos 24-7.
