Attitude of Michigan Football fits legacy ATH’s playing ability

Photo Credit: FA7CON PORTFOLIO/Instagram A change in the staff hasn’t swayed Marquis Ray’s opinion about Michigan whatsoever. It makes sense on the surface, as the 2028 recruit grew up in a household that bleeds maize and blue through his father, 1997 national champion and All-American Marcus Ray. But when examining his own journey, the younger Ray sees a great deal of opportunities in Ann Arbor.

Having been to campus a handful of times, Ray most recently returned for a spring practice and to see how the new coaches are taking charge. “The visit was great,” Ray told Maize n Brew. “I definitely felt welcomed and they treated me like family.

I think the experience was great and I will definitely be back for games and maybe even camp. ” Billed as an athlete by the major recruiting services, Ray sees himself on the defensive side of the ball across multiple positions. “I think I can fit on the team as a field-side safety and a nickel back and help a lot in the pass game,” Ray said.

“The Michigan safeties are well coached, athletic and disciplined. They also have some size. ” The trip back in March was Ray’s chance to develop an early bond with new safeties coach Tyler Stockton, who also headed out to Pickerington (Ohio) North during the January contact period to see him.
