Former Ramapo star relishing national championship run with Michigan football

It looks like Jack Grusser made the right decision.

The former Ramapo football star made a late decision in his recruiting process last year to forego an opportunity at Harvard to play for Michigan.

Now, Grusser will be in Houston on Monday night, No. 14 on the sidelines if you’re looking for him, as the Wolverines take on Washington in the college football national championship game. Michigan is shooting for its first national title since 1997.

“Being on the team right now is awesome and I’m super grateful I was given the opportunity. Each and every day I go up against the best defense in the country and get better every rep I get on the field,” Grusser said via text on Friday. “Going against the best of the best makes me a better player and makes me elevate my game that much more. I also have learned a lot more about football since being here and just by watching teammates execute throughout the season. You begin to pick things up from the older and more experienced guys that you can add to your game which helps a lot.”

Former Ramapo star quarterback Jack Grusser is a freshman WR/QB at Michigan.

Grusser is a freshman who has served as Michigan’s scout team quarterback and wide receiver, in addition to taking a role on special teams. He has dressed for each home game and playoff game, but has yet to appear in a game.

While his role may be unheralded, it is important.

“I try to give the starting defense the best look possible each week to prepare them for the upcoming game,” Grusser said. “I believe I have contributed to the team by giving a good look each week during the scout team periods of practice both offense and special teams. Executing all of my assignments and doing whatever I can to prepare the starting defense for upcoming games is how I contributed to the team this year.”
