Michigan football freshman wide receiver is making a name for himself

Karmello and Fredrick and Semaj, their ability to get out of a break, we haven’t seen that for many freshmen, let alone too many receivers that have come through here with their ability to track the ball. Fredrick Moore’s ability to track the ball is as good as I’ve seen…”
