And we are back for another edition of Behind the Uniform. This is where we take you inside the playing

careers of the young man who wear the uniform for the Michigan Wolverines. But we also

let you find out who they are away from the field of play and find out who they are when they

aren't wearing the uniform, who they are away from the

gridiron and a young man who you've seen on this set before, before he became a Wolverine,

you find out what it was that made him decide to wear the maize in blue. Well, he went through

practice, went through spring ball, and now embarking upon his first

fall camp talking about Shamari Earl. Shamari, welcome back to the stage. How you doing?

I'm doing good. Thank you for having me back. Yeah, man. Thank you for joining us.

Excited for you. You know, anxious to see how your first season is going to go. But before we get into that, man, let's just

first reflect for a moment. You know, you had thoughts. You imagine what it was going to be like.

Just, you know, reflect for a moment. And how does it match what you thought it was going to be when you look back on spring ball? How how does it match what you thought it was going to be

when you look back on spring ball? How does it compare to what you thought it was going to be like? Yeah, it definitely was an eye opener, but I'm definitely glad I got her early. Like, I mean, it wasn't too hard. I mean, something that happened, you just adjust to it. And then there, you're good from there. I'm glad I've definitely gotten it early to get justice to things early and stuff like that but I'm excited for the season.

there's the being away from home, there's the going to class I mean, what was the toughest of all those adjustments for you? I got two. Off the field, I say class. I mean, being an adult, be on your own. You had to take initiative to get up with a class on your own. And me not being from the north, you know, the South Boy, you know, it's really cold up here. At the first few months, January and February, it killed me

walking the cold. But, you know, I got used to it a little bit. So I just got up and did it.

And then on the field, I would say probably, I adjusted

to speed and strength a couple pretty early. You know, it just can't slack off.

Got to get 100%. But I would say definitely just plays. Like, the playbook and the mental of the game is so far ahead in college in NFL compared to high school. Like, it's a big gap. And I spend a lot more time in the film room when I coached like that more than I did work on-field stuff.. Of course I was doing both, but it was more mental

stuff too. So you say spent a lot of time in the film room. I know every guy has to do that more,

but were you in high school? Was that something that you like to do? Did that come naturally? Or did you
