Recruiting Battle to Watch
For this week’s Battle, we’re taking look at a Michigan QB that has stirred up some intrigue in the MAC. Jalin Pitchford, a six-foot dual threat passer out of Roosevelt High School in Wyandotte, Michigan, boasts 14 offers, including ones from Bowling Green, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, and Miami. As you can see on his Hudl film, he’s elusive in the pocket, is mechanically sound, has great ball placement, and certainly doesn’t lack in arm strength. Some of his highlights as a ball hawk on defense is especially intriuging, but there isn’t a lot of tackling on tape tape so it’s tough to do an evaluation on Pitchford as a defender. If he’s able to add muscle to his frame, he’ll end up being a contributor somewhere in college.
