Rashan Gary (born December 3, 1997) is an American football defensive tackle, who is currently committed to play college football for the Michigan Wolverines starting during the 2016 season.[1] In 2015, he concluded his high school football career at Paramus Catholic High School in New Jersey. He was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in college football's incoming Class of 2016.[2]
High school career
Gary started his high school career at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, until he transferred to Paramus Catholic High School for his junior and senior season.[3] His first high school claimed that Paramus had recruited Gary, but the NJSIAA unanimously ruled that Scotch-Plains Fanwood had not proven its allegation.[4] During his senior season, he had 13.5 sacks, 55 tackles, including 29 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles and returned a blocked punt for a touchdown in nine games.[5] Following the season, Gary was named USA Today Defensive Player of the Year and High School All-American.[6][7]
Gary participated in the 2016 Under Armour All-America Game, where he recorded six tackles and three sacks, and was named MVP.[8]
Recruiting
He became the first player to be named the top player in the country unanimously by all four major recruiting networks, 247Sports.com, ESPN.com, Rivals.com, and Scout.com.[9] In June 2015, Michigan hired Chris Partridge, Gary's former high school head coach, as their director of player personnel and recruiting. In January 2016, he was promoted to linebackers and special teams coach.[10][11] After visits to Auburn, Clemson, Michigan, Ole Miss and USC, Gary committed to play college football for the Michigan Wolverines on February 3, 2016.[12]
