Adrian Witty:

Overview: This is a tough evaluation. With Witty missing so much time with injuries, there is limited film available on him. Of all the new Michigan recruits, he is the toughest to call: he could be very pleasant surprise or a total bust. At this point, it's very hard to tell.



Strengths: He has good size for a defensive back. He's an aggressive defender who plays very hard. He shows good quickness and plays a physical game. Looks like he might have some quickness to him, as well.



Needs Work: His tackling is average, and he has a tendency to overrun plays and take poor angles. His hands need major work. We think he is an average player at best. We watched as much film on him as possible and have only seen one or two solid tackles, and no good hits. He is consistently out of position when tackling and either reaching back, arm tackling, or grabbing jerseys. He shows some quickness, but no real burst or explosion, and no extra gear at all. He has trouble catching a freaking cold (poor hands). This might be a situation where the kid was hurt and they are counting on him improving a lot.

His recruitment was most likely a two-for-one deal, with Denard Robinson being THE ONE. We have no problem with that, especially with all the scholarships available that late in the recruiting cycle. We hope he surprises us and becomes a contributor on defense in a couple of years, because we lack depth right now. He can always help out on special teams.
