New Michigan Man: P Brad Robbins Commits

Posted onAuthorGarrett Fishaw

There were plenty of positions that were big time needs for the Wolverines staff in 2017 but one that wasn’t mentioned too often was the punter position, where Kenny Allen’s graduation was going to leave a big hole. So, to fill it, the staff went out and picked up the top punter in the class as 2017 Westerville South (OH) P Brad Robbins has committed to Michigan.

Commitment

Scouting Report

Bradley is the Fab 50’s top nationally ranked punter for the class of 2017. He earned the top spot after the Fall 2016 Kornblue Kicking Challenge event (Dec. 31, 2016). His punting performance included punts of 5.06/46 yards & 5.04/54 yards. He was named Punting Champion for the class of 2017 and earned the highest point total, including the JUCO/college transfer level. – per KornBlueKicking

Recruitment

Robbins’ name popped up for the first time a week before NSD when Wolverine247’s Steve Lorenz reported Chris Partridge visiting with and keeping an eye on the #1 punter. And it looked like an offer could go out if a spot was available.

Well, on National Signing Day and just minutes after the Signing of the Stars event ended, Robbins tweeted out his offer and his acceptance of it, flipping from Nevada and committing to Michigan.

  • Height: 6’2”
  • Weight: 180lbs
  • Hometown (School): Westerville, OH (Westerville South)
  • Notable Offers: Nevada, Navy

Highlights

As for the Rest of the Class

Robbins is the 29th commitment in the class, 1st special teams addition and the 3rd commitment out of Ohio. With his addition, the staff will wait to get official word from WR Nico Collins before, likely, closing up shop and heading into the spring.
