Michigan offers another quarterback prospect for 2010 | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press

Michigan made their first scholarship offer to Inkster’s Devin Gardner this past summer. Since then, the Wolverines have offered five additional class of 2010 quarterbacks, including Orchard Lake St. Mary’s prospect Robert Bolden. Their most recent offer went to Gainesville, Ga., record-setting passer Blake Sims.

The 6-foot, 180-pound Sims threw for 2,785 yards, rushed for more than 1,000 yards and accounted for 42 touchdowns. Sims boasts 4.5 speed in the 40-yard dash and has the dual-threat capabilities Rodriguez prefers.

"I went… up to Notre Dame when they played Michigan this year and I was actually watching the offense of Michigan," said Gainesville assistant coach Todd Wofford. "We run a similar offense and I was close enough to listen to some of the calls of plays they were running. They were similar plays and Blake would totally fit into that offense because it's 99% what we run."

Michigan offered Sims early last week after previously offering his teammate, wide receiver Tai-ler Jones. Wofford believes both will consider U-M going forward.
