Draper sees first Michigan game
Cleveland Glenville linebacker Matthew Draper camped with Michigan over the summer, but the class of 2015 prospect had never seen a game at Michigan Stadium until Saturday night.

Draper traveled to Ann Arbor with his mother and stepfather for the Wolverine's night game against Notre Dame.
"It was wild and real nice," Draper said. "It was a record for the most people to come to a game (and) really loud. The fans showed a lot of love, I liked the coaches and the team played really well."
Draper and his family were able to get down there early enough to chat with Michigan linebackers coach Roy Manning.
"I talked to him a little bit just before the game," Draper said. "We talked about our last game and he knew we won, but I don't think he had seen my film."
Draper's Cleveland Glenville teammates Marshon Lattimore, Erick Smith and Trevon Story also were in attendance for Saturday's game at Michigan, though Draper said they sat in different areas during the game.
The Michigan-Notre Dame game was the first college contest Draper has attended this season, but it will not be his last.
"I possibly will be at the Ohio State-Iowa game," Draper said. "I would like to go check games out (at schools that have offered)."
The 6-foot, 195-pound Draper already boasts offers from Ball State, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Louisville and Toledo.
