From the Michigan State site...as a junior Tommy was named All-Conference, All-Metro and Honorable Mention All-State. He is hearing the most from Wisconsin, Michigan State, Illinois, and Nebraska.

I like Tommy as an OLB a lot and the jury is still out as to whether he an OSU-caliber recruit. Camps may make or break things for Tommy and some of the bigger schools. However, even if OSU doesn't get involved, whoever gets him is going to get a superb football player.

I loved Becker's video...I think he is a solid football player and wouldn't be surprised if we eventually offer.

From Rivals.com...Tommy is rated the #9 player in Minnesota.

I know there is some solid talent in MN this year, but like Weber, I think Becker is rated WAY too low...
