Recruit endears self to Buckeye fans while at Michigan

When college football recruits are committed to one school and visit that school's rival, be it for an official visit, a summer camp, or a weekend of football, fans get nervous. The last thing they want to see is a potential star not only bow out of their own school's signing class, but sign up with the hated enemy, as well.

Enter Ohio State commitment Tyler Green, who not only figured out a good way to alleviate the concerns of Buckeye fans while participating in a Michigan football camp, but have some fun at the Wolverines' expense at the same time.

Naturally, bedlam ensued.

Buckeyes loved it, Wolverines surely loathed it.

The photo appears to have been taken in Michigan's indoor practice facility, and except for the accomplice holding the camera (likely a high school teammate of Green's, several of whom apparently were also at the camp), the place looks empty. It's a good thing Green, who is expected to sign with OSU in February, had the awareness to perform the stunt with nobody else around. Still, one can presume that no matter how impressive the three-star recruit from Maryland powerhouse Hyattsville Dematha was at the camp, Michigan might not be extending more opportunities for him to visit the Ann Arbor campus anytime soon.
