That's definitely just a regular Nike football shirt in the colors of his high school. If it were a Michigan football shirt it would say "Michigan Football" or the word Michigan somewhere on the shirt. Not to mention it's a Nike shirt and Michigan is an Addidas school. My guess is the shirt isn't that old given how much bigger he's probably gotten in the last year so I wouldn't think you'd be able to find anymore Michigan Nike shirts. I do like the guy that's convinced even if it isn't a Michigan shirt that he's still making a statement by wearing a blue and yellow shirt even though it's his high school colors.

Confirming info from Wikipedia:

Springfield High School is a public high school in Springfield, Ohio. ...

...North and South merged back into "Springfield High School." A new high school building and campus was built at the location of the old North High. The new Springfield High kept the "Wildcats" nickname, adopted navy, blue and gold as its colors and continues to use Evans Stadium for football.

I can't imagine that one of the few scUMmers over there with half a brain really saw a picture from that day, or that interview, and believed what's making the rounds up there. It's amazing what the combination of a 5-game losing streak to your rival, horrible recruiting, and a future-not-so-bright can do to a man's mind.

DePriest stars in Springfield football's OT win

SPRINGFIELD ? It was a team victory and yet a one-man show.

Coming soon to a football field near you: The Talented Mr. DePriest. He runs, he catches, he tackles, he punts, he kicks off, he boots extra points ? he wins games.

The credit for Springfield High School?s 35-28 come-from-behind overtime victory Saturday, Aug. 29, at Evans Stadium goes to numerous people.

No player, however, deserves more credit than versatile Springfield junior Trey DePriest. His four touchdowns, all after halftime and one in overtime, helped carry the Wildcats to a victory in their weather-delayed season opener.

?I called him Jim Thorpe the other day,? Springfield coach Rick Robertson said. ?He looked at me like, ?Huh?? ... I called him a Renaissance Man. He does it all. He?s the real deal.?

?He?s always been Superman,? junior linebacker Hayden Davis said.

DePriest may have put the team on his back, but his teammates were there for him, too. After he gave the Wildcats the lead in overtime with a 2-yard run, an obviously exhausted DePriest accepted two helping hands from sophomore Stewart Vleck to get to his feet.

DePriest then went right back out on defense and helped the Wildcats shut Big Blue down and clinch the win in OT.

?Everybody came together as one,? DePriest said. ?There?s no greater feeling.?

That QB looked real shifty and elusive on a few big plays there to keep things going. I especially liked the broken play on the 2pt conversion to tie the game in the 4th qt where he kept it off the right end and was being dragged down by a host of defenders and had the smarts to just throw a shot put to a wide open guy in the endzone.
