Why it Matters for Michigan and Chris Partridge
This is a huge hire for Harbaugh as Partridge was considered one of the top recruiters in the nation during his time with the Wolverines. During his first stint in Ann Arbor, Partridge was a director of player personnel, while also coaching the safeties and special teams. Over the past eight recruitment cycles, Partridge was either a lead or secondary recruiter for 38 four- or five-star recruits who joined Michigan or Ole Miss.
