Coach Chris Partridge on Drew Singleton
"I have known Drew for six years. He came to Paramus Catholic when I was a coach there. He came in as a freshman and played varsity as a freshman, starting as a sophomore as an outside linebacker. As I left and came to Michigan, he moved inside and played inside linebacker for two years.

"Drew is a phenomenal young man. He has a great family, great work ethic and is very, very athletic. He can play inside and outside, and he has great size and can really run. He has worked hard at it and has been student of the game. He is a guy who we are extremely excited about, and he is going to add a lot of athleticism to that linebacker core."
