Still a lot more to get to on the Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com. So here are Steve Lorenz, Bryce Merritt, and special guest Alan truly is Alan for one more segment anyway as he fills in for Sam for one final segment here on the Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast. We'll get to that right now. Here are Steve Bryson Allen here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK.

You did mention you talked to the father of a guy that we've talked about on this podcast,

a guy that I think, Bryce, you, Sam and I all love, is out of Shacopi, Shikopee.

I can't remember how they pronounced it.

Minnesota, three-star linebacker, Bryce, Bryce Betton.

What's the latest on his recruitment?

Yeah, so they're going to take...

get on campus, I think twice, right? I think he's been up. And how does that say he'd been to

And so he's, he wants to get to some of these places to see how they're going to use Blake because he's a guy that can go a lot of different directions also.
