An Interview With Mike McGlinchey

Philadelphia (PA) William Penn Charter OT Mike McGlinchey is one of the latest juniors to receive an offer from Michigan, who join Wisconsin, Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Rutgers, and Virginia in extending a scholarship early in the process. McGlinchey is rated as a four-star and the #244 prospect overall on 24/7 and he's a member of the ESPNU 150 Watch List. At 6'8", 285 pounds, he has the prototypical frame for a left tackle, and his recruitment has really picked up in the last couple of weeks. I had the chance to chat briefly with Mike last night:

ACE: How is everything going with your recruitment, and which teams are going after you the hardest right now?

MIKE: Everything has been really exciting, and I have offers from Michigan, Wisconsin, Boston College, Maryland, Rutgers, Duke, and Virginia.

ACE: Any favorites of those teams right now?

MIKE: Yeah I really don't know who is at the top of my list right now. I still have to take the time to think about it and narrow down my choices.

ACE: How do you think you performed in your junior year?

MIKE: I think I performed well. I put a lot of hard work into making sure I do so!

ACE: What would you say are your biggest strengths on the field, and what are you working on to improve for your senior year and beyond?

MIKE: I have a lot of size and strength and quickness and I think I need to sure up my technique.

ACE: Who's your main recruiter at Michigan, and what are your thoughts on the school and the program?

MIKE: Coach Mallory. They are a great program with a huge tradition.

ACE: Any idea what your timeline is for wrapping up your recruitment?

MIKE: I want to be finished with the process by the end of this school year.
