RONDALE MOORE, ADRIAN MARTINEZ AND OTHER BIG TEN PLAYERS DISCUSS RECRUITING INTEREST FROM OHIO STATE, WHY THEY CHOSE THE SCHOOLS THEY DID
BEN BREDESON, LG, MICHIGAN
As one of the top-ranked offensive linemen in the recruiting class of 2016, Bredeson was recruited by Ohio State and its offensive line coach at the time, Ed Warinner, who is now Michigan’s offensive line coach. Bredeson, however, decided that Ohio State was not the right fit for him.
“We had great conversations there. He was trying to sell me on Ohio State, and like I told him, when I told him I wasn’t going there, it was nothing against him, Ohio State just wasn’t the place for me,” Bredeson said of being recruited by Warinner. “He was a great coach over there, it just wasn’t the right fit for me, and he respected that. Not every school fits right for everybody else.”
Instead, Bredeson decided the school that was the right fit for him was Michigan, where he was primarily recruited by Greg Mattison, who is now the co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State. Bredeson, who is now entering his fourth season as the Wolverines’ starting left guard, committed to Michigan in June 2015, prior to his senior year at Arrowhead High School in Hartland, Wisconsin.
“There’s a time where you’re on campus and everything just feels right,” Bredeson said. “I thought the mixture of academics and athletics and the city of Ann Arbor was just the perfect place for me, and that’s what really sold it for me coming out of my junior year of high school, when I knew that I just wanted to be a Wolverine.”
