Michigan hosted 2026 LB Colsen Gatten over the weekend and was able to take in his first experience of Ann Arbor after being offered by the program recently.
After speaking with Gatten, it's clear that the Wolverines will be a factor for him moving forward, with Brian Jean-Mary being another highlight for a linebacker recruit.
Here are some quick notes from his visit:
- Gatten was able to catch practice during his time on campus and walked away impressed with the linebacker play, he was able to get a firsthand look at how the unit operated under the defense
- The physicality and smarts, specifically, is what drew him to the linebacker play
- He sees similarities between how the linebackers play and how he plays the position himself
- Brian Jean-Mary is a 'very good coach and an even better person' with the relationship playing a factor for the 2026 recruit.
