2018 4-star TE, Michigan legacy Will Mallory has Wolverines in Top 3

Jacksonville (FL) Providence 2018 four-star tight end Will Mallory told Scout that he has put Michigan in his Top 3, along with Miami (FL) and Georgia.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound athlete is ranked No. 179 in the 2018 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He is the 10th-best tight end and the No. 36 player in the state of Florida.

Mallory’s dad, Mike Mallory, and uncles, Doug Mallory and Curt Mallory, all played football at Michigan.

"I grew up around the program," Mallory told Scout. "My dad and two uncles played there, so I have a strong connection. I definitely feel comfortable at Michigan because I've been there several times and I have family in the state. It's a special place with great tradition."

Along with Mallory, the Wolverines are pushing for 2018 tight ends Jeremy Ruckert, Brevin Jordan, and Mustapha Muhammad.
