Watch 6-foot-5, 293-pound
Arrowhead (Hartland, Wis.) offensive tackle
Ben Bredeson on tape and be prepared to be impressed. Bredeson constantly drives defensive ends at least 5 yards downfield on runs or keeps them far away from quarterback Johnny Duranso.
Bredeson is the No. 35 recruit in the country overall, according to
247Sports, and the fifth-ranked offensive tackle. He's a hard commit for Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, but his home state Wisconsin and Notre Dame are in the hunt.
During the week of the Under Armour All-American football game, longtime analyst and former NFL player and coach Herm Edwards picked out Bredeson as one of two players who stood out during practice. Bredeson was the only lineman, according to reports, who was able to slow down, at times, the nation's No. 1 recruit Rashan Gary, who has Michigan on his list of finalists.
Don't be surprised if Bredeson and Gary end up teammates next season.
