Olaniyan Opens Up Recruitment

Aramide Olaniyan ‘s recruiting card

A week after making an unofficial visit to the University of Michigan to see the Wolverines take on Notre Dame, Woodberry Forest (VA) star linebacker/defensive end Aramide Olaniyan de-committed from Duke, the school he committed to this March.
