Jim Harbaugh has been a busy man since his return to the University of Michigan as head coach. Harbaugh has found a unique way to bring talented high school football players to the campus with newly announced camp, Ann Arbor's Aerial Assault, also known as A4. The camp will bring together high school quarterbacks with NFL stars and renowned quarterback experts.
Harbaugh is not only the new head coach for Michigan but was also a former player and quarterback for the Wolverines. With his quarterbacking experience and the brief time he spent in the NFL as the coach of the San Francisco 49ers, he was able to assemble top-level talent to teach the campers. CBS Sports has a sampling of the invitees set to coach at the event:
"The instructors include Colin Kaepernick, Jay Cutler, former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson and No. 1 draft choice Jameis Winston, along with quarterback guru George Whitfield. Six former Michigan quarterbacks will appear at the camp including Robinson, Elvis Grbac and John Navarre. Also expected to appear are recent Rams' draftee Sean Mannion and retired former first-round pick of the Ravens Kyle Boller."
At first glance, the A4 camp may seem like a violation of recruitment, but it is more of a loophole with having the players become instructors, so the university will be in the clear from NCAA punishment. A spokesperson for Michigan explained why this is so to the Bleacher Report:
"With camps, it's totally different. They're not doing recruiting at the camps."
Even though they are not specifically being recruited for the school, the campers will enjoy a heavy dose of what life would be like if they were to become a quarterback for the maize and blue.
Harbaugh has already brought excitement and intrigue back to Ann Arbor without even stepping onto the field at the Big House yet.
