Paramus Catholic(NJ) among others playing HS games at the Big House this year

So a total of 16 HS teams from around the nation will be playing games in Michigan's stadium this coming season.

But none are more notable than Paramus Catholic, one of the elite parochial schools in North Jersey. They will be playing a Catholic School from outside Baltimore.

This school has produced a very strong pipeline of talent, most of which has ended up in Ann Arbor, including Jabrill Peppers, and Rashan Gray. Harbaugh also gave the Commencement Address this year. Their former HS coach is also on staff as the LB Coach for Michigan.

I actually really like the idea! IIRC VT has hosted a handful of HS games in the past, it might be a good idea, and an easy way to draw large number of quality kids to campus despite its distance from most of them.

Just another way to get kids used to thinking about suiting up for the good guys in Lane.

As for the close relations with certain high schools, I am jealous and wish we had been in a better spot the last few years, but Fuente certainly has the ability to do so, especially his Texas roots there, and Burden of course still with his 757 experience ideally.

Nor should we think VT is not above hires that might raise an eyebrow, we all remember when Dwayne Lawsons coach was brought in as a quality control assistant right?
