“Another guy that has got a tremendous amount of energy and is an elite recruiter, and I’m excited about having him and his family here is linebackers Coach Brian Jean-Mary. I’m just excited about who he is, having competed against him and schematically what he did and the problems that he caused as a coordinator. He will coach our linebackers coming from Michigan. He’s known as an elite recruiter everywhere that he’s been. Great developer of guys at that second level and at the linebacker position. You look at the amount of guys that he’s been able to recruit and then develop and have an opportunity to go play in the NFL. He’s a perfect fit for us at that position.” — Josh Heupel on Brian Jean-Mary
