2020, Garrett Dellinger’s senior year of high school, will be the last year that he’ll wear a winged helmet.
As an offensive lineman for the Clarkston Wolves in Oakland County, Mich., Dellinger is used to wearing the wings and hearing his band’s fight song patterned after “The Victors.” But the in-state familiarity didn’t win the four-star tackle over.
Though he spoke glowingly of Michigan’s academics as well as coaches Jim Harbaugh and Ed Warinner, it seemed that the lure to a recent national championship winner was too strong, as he committed to LSU over Michigan via YouTube on Wednesday afternoon.
His other finalists were Ohio State and Penn State.
Michigan is still in the thick of it for Dellinger’s four-Star lineman teammate Rocco Spindler, who appears to be choosing between the Wolverines and Notre Dame among his other finalists.
