Recapping 2012 Commit Royce Jenkins-Stone

Michigan's 2012 linebacker recruits were outstanding and one of them is Royce Jenkins-Stone out of Detroit Cass Tech.  Cass Tech is one of the top high school programs in the country and certainly in the state of Michigan.  Along with this, it's almost a forgone conclusion that any elite player from Cass Tech will take a scholarship offer from Michigan.  Royce is another elite guy and he's dominant at the Inside Linebacker position and will do great things to sure up the Michigan defense.

I truly believe that Royce is one of the better players in the state and one of the best linebackers in the country.  He's a pure athlete and has great strength and speed.  I am a huge fan of aggressive guys that aren't afraid to attack the line of scrimmage in the run defense or can drop back and play coverage and Royce is one of these players.  Versatile linebackers are hard to come by, but I believe that Michigan got one in Royce.  Royce also happened to play some Running Back for Cass Tech, had good speed, and could catch the ball, so he's versatile in that aspect.  He tends to overrun plays, but I think it's due to his aggressiveness so he could work on his patience in defending the run.  I believe that Royce is very coachable and can improve while he's at the next level.  Greg Mattison is a phenomenal defensive coach and he will get the best out of Royce.  I may be considered by some to be a little bit too "high" on Royce, but he just has that kind of potential.  He's not quite developed yet, but his potential is astronomical.
