Utica Senior Commits to University of Michigan Football

Matt Wittwer, who's started at quarterback for Utica Eisenhower High School for the last three years, announced Sunday that he’d signed a commitment to the University of Michigan football team. Wittwer, a 6’2, 185-lb finalist for mLive’s football player of the year in 2017, had previously committed to Air Force, but de-committed after visiting UM’s Ann Arbor campus and deciding to sign Michigan as a preferred walk-on instead.

On his personal Twitter, Wittwer wrote ”Thankful to announce that I have received an offer and am committing to the Michigan Wolverines.” The Tweet shows pictures of Wittwer, some as a toddler, wearing the maize and blue, so the announcement isn’t as much of a shock as it might seem.
