​Essexville-Garber 2018 TE/WR Ben VanSumeren who is committed to Iowa, officially visits Michigan this weekend

Essexville-Garber 2018 TE/WR Ben VanSumeren was fresh off his official visit to Iowa from this past weekend and with 6 days before signing day, the home state program, Michigan Wolverines finally turned their head to VanSumeren and offered the 6'3" 235 TE/WR prospect.

Jim Harbaugh and 2 other Michigan coaches visited VanSumeren at school on Friday morning. VanSumeren wasn't sure if he would visit Michigan on Thursday, but the Friday visit has led to Ben VanSumeren taking an official visit this weekend.

The D Zone has learned that VanSumeren is being recruited as an H-Back/Fullback.

VanSumeren finished his senior season with an incredible 85 receptions which are good enough to finish tied 9th overallin a single season, but VanSumeren is the only player to have that many receptions in a 9 game schedule, the rest in the pack played in 10+ games.

Essexville-Garber Head Coach Jake Coquillard commented on VanSumeren's work ethic, "Ben’s is an absolute relentless workout warrior! He lifts twice a day if he can and he understands that if he wants to be the best, you have to put in the hard work. He also, catches 100 passes every day, eats 6,000 calories a day and goes to bed usually around 9pm. He sleeps with a football, he buckles a football and buckles it in tothe passenger seat of his car. He wants to be the best!"

Stay tuned for more on the aftermath of this offer and more as we approach the early signing day on December 20th-22nd.
