Michigan football recruiting: Gideon Gash on his tough college decision

At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Gash is a priority for the Kyle Whittingham staff, ranked highest by Rivals as the No. 61 player in the country, regardless of position. Here is the scouting report from Rivals' Charles Power:

Gash is the epitome of an athlete prospect. He has the potential to play upwards of maybe five positions at the college level just with his combination of size and athleticism and breadth of skills. He is a big athlete at around 6’4 and plays receiver and corner for his high school team.He shows very good overall athleticism and just ability to make big plays. He’s a walk-down defender and really has outstanding cover skills for such a big prospect. We could see him potentially lining up as a safety, linebacker or corner on defense. He has the skill set to be a receiver or tied-in prospect on offense. He’s a true athlete in that sense and is hyper-versatile. It’s yet to be seen where he’ll end up positionally, but we’re very high on the overall football player. I’m looking forward to seeing how he continues to develop. We’ll be tracking his position projection closely, but there’s a bunch of upside. He’s a high-end, very versatile high school football player who has several pathways to success at the college level.

Whittingham has noted that he intends to recruit the state of Michigan heavily and has three pledges currently in the class with Kalamazoo (Mich.) Loy Norrix four-star OT Jakari Lipsey, Muskegon (Mich.) four-star EDGE Recarder Kitchen, and Saline (Mich.) three-star IOL Louis Esposito committed.
