Why he committed to Michigan: “It was just everything about it, after seeing that basketball game and talking to the coaches, you just couldn’t pass it up. It’s everything you want in a college. It wasn’t anyone I picked them over. They were just the best one out of everyone I had. They just felt like the right choice.”

ANALYSIS

Sean O’Connell, UMGoBlog.com: “Reminds me quite a bit of 2012 prospect Pharaoh Brown as a defensive end. Very raw, but his ceiling is very, very high. Taco has a tremendous motor and has the ability to chase ball carriers from behind and sideline to sideline. He has a great frame at 6’6” and has yet to grow into it. After a redshirt and a few years in a college strength training program he has the potential to be a very special player. He needs to work some more with his hands and again, needs to add strength and quickness.”

Top Schools: (1/7/12) “Michigan, Alabama, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, then South Carolina, but that’s not anything set in stone. Those are just the ones I can remember. Michigan is probably my number one right now."

Video Interview with ESPN

ANALYSIS

Allen Trieu, Scout.com: “You can’t teach his ability to move and bend at his size. He’s light on his feet, changes directions well, and he’s a hard working kid with a great attitude. He is very very coachable. He needs to still get stronger and maybe a little meaner on the field. He also still has to work on his technique, but he is currently doing that.”

Sean O’Connell, UMGoBlog.com: “Very athletic kid who has pretty good footwork. Logan has a great build that will allow him to hold 300 lbs. plus. The thing that pops out to me the most is his tenacity and mean streak. He gets out of his stance fairly quickly, drives the …defender into the second level consistently and knows how to finish blocks. A red-shirt and a year in a college strength training program will do wonders for him. He’ll be a top 15 tackle in the country and has the abilities to be an all conference player.”
