Earlier this week I stopped by the Michigan football building to talk to Mimi Bolden-Morris, a graduate assistant who is the first female coach in Big Ten football history.
I spoke to her, her brother (who is a standout defensive lineman for the Wolverines), one of the quarterbacks she works with closely, and several of her colleagues.
The result is this story for MLive:

David Ojabo was born in Nigeria and raised in Scotland. He came to the United States for better athletic opportunities — in soccer and basketball. Not until he saw a classmate switch to football and garner interest from colleges did he think about football.
Now he’s a starter for Michigan.
Read about Ojabo’s remarkable rise — and unique journey — in my latest feature for MLive:

Carter Selzer is a fifth-year senior for the Michigan Wolverines. He’s a reserve tight end who plays mostly on special teams. His story is compelling because he paid his own way (before Jim Harbaugh awarded him a scholarship this summer), will do anything to help Michigan win games, and has a sweet nickname.
