Who is Laterryal Savoy?Laterryal Savoy is a gifted and agile
wide receiver, who runs perfect routes and has
tremendous hands. In his pro day training, Laterryal has earned
the nickname: Mr.
Consistency, from renowned Michigan trainer, Mike Barwis.
The Michigan Wide Receiver TraditionLaterryal Savoy was highly
recruited out of Mamou, Louisiana. During his sophomore season,
Savoy saw
game action, but he was playing behind future NFL Players: Mario
Manningham, Steve Breaston and Adrian
Arrington. By the end of his sophomore season at Michigan, Savoy
was slotted to become the next in the longtradition of pro-style
receivers.
The Rodriguez Era Changed the LandscapeFollowing Savoys
Sophomore Season, Head Coach Lloyd Carr retired. With the hiring of
new Head Coach
Rich Rodriguez, the Michigan offensive scheme underwent a
radical transformation. Unlike the Carr Scheme,
the Rodriguez Scheme is designed for small, slot-type receivers.
There are very few plays primarily designed
for pro-style wide-outs. Accordingly, but for the Rodriguez
coaching
change, Savoy would have been a two year starter and compiled
the typi-
cal Michigan wide-out statistics.1
Savoys Commitment to His TeamDespite the transformation of the
Michigan offense, which not only cut his
playing time, but greatly impacted his NFL draft stock, Savoy
never com-
plained. Instead, he worked twice as hard, in his training and
condition-
ing. He also worked hard on his routes. Savoy learned a new
offense and
supported his new coaches. Likewise, he contributed on the eld
(such as
catching big time passes in the last drive against Notre Dame).
Moreover,
he was a leader off the eld, such as leading the team in
pre-game prayer.
Savoys Future is BrightNow, Laterryal Savoy looks forward to the
opportunity to demonstrate that
he has all of the tools to join the tradition of the Michigan
receivers listed herein. He knows he has work to do,
but ask his trainers, his teammates, or his coaches and you will
nd that no one doubts that Laterryal Savoy
has the requisite talent, character and work ethic to succeed at
the next level.
