Video: Rashan Gary - Top 5 PlaysThe long-awaited decision of where the nation's No. 1 recruit is heading is now over.
Paramus Catholic (N.J.) senior
Rashan Gary has picked the University of Michigan.
The 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive tackle is a physical specimen with great quickness, speed (4.74 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and a constant motor.
Gary's recruitment has been watched closely by all college football fans. His favorites heading into National Signing Day were Michigan, Alabama and Auburn, according to 247Sports. He also visited Clemson.
Barton Simmons, a recruiting expert for 247Sports, said at last summer's The Opening, an annual showcase of 166 of the top recruits in the country: "Every year at The Opening, there is one prospect that you need to make sure you watch on every rep or else you might miss something spectacular. This year that guy is Rashan Gary. Every time Gary takes a snap, whether it's during the run period or the pass-rush period, there's a different speed and a different intensity level on display."
Big input about his recruitment came from his mother Jennifer Coney.
Looking at his top five plays, there appears to be only one speed Gary works at: full speed ahead.
