Will Furman Make it a Blue Christmas?

ANN ARBOR,MI.– Will Michigan get an early Christmas present? We will find out when Maryland super stud Josh Furman lets everyone else in on a decision that he has already made. He has narrowed it down to Michigan and Virginia Tech. Furman has made the decision but decided to wait to announce.

Josh Furman has college coaches drooling at the potential he possesses as a linebacker at the collegiate level. Currently Furman sits at 6’2” and weighs in around 190 pounds. The Detroit News quoted Furman after being asked about the adjustment, “I am really feeling the linebacker position,” Furman said . “I am playing with a lot of confidence. It has made me very excited about the linebacker spot. I dream about being above 200 pounds. You will see me unleash the fury once I get into the 200 club.” Furman will have to learn to play better in coverage since he spent his career chasing down anything behind the line of scrimmage carrying a football. Athleticism is his main selling point. He posted a 4.37 40-yard dash, a 4.41 short shuttle, a 10-foot-1 standing broad jump, and a 40-inch vertical leap.

The senior from Millersville, MD absolutely blew up in his most recent playoff game piling up 414 yards on 42 carries scoring 6 touchdowns in a 58-55 double overtime victory against one of the top teams in the state, Arundel High. His season stats total up to 2071 yards and 29 touchdowns in 11 games. The Wolverine faithful are feeling good vibes but we won’t know if Michigan has been good enough this year to open a present containing a commitment from this talented youngster until December 19, at the Crab Bowl; a Maryland high school all-star game.
