So like just learning how that the recruiting process goes on my own was pretty tough , but I , I picked it up eventually and got some offers and then eventually chose Michigan . I think my character really set me aside from a lot of recruits and other people just like being a genuine , nice person the way I was raised , just like being myself , the coaches I think really stood out to them . Don't listen like the outside people just like you and your parents just , you'll know when the right decision is when , when the time comes , just like , trust the process , trust God because it'll all work out when I came here .
So playing basketball after the football season was just really good for me every day . Getting better , staying in shape and , yeah , my mentality every day just to show up and do the same thing over and over again and just sticking through the process . And a little over a year ago I had back surgery .
I'm Daniel Tabo . I play offensive line for the University of Michigan football .
Like taking all the coaching again , like what Joey said , watching all the film just developing all those skills really has . It really made me a better player . Honestly , for me , I enjoy it the , the long schedule cause like , if I'm , I always need to be doing something .
The best advice I'd probably ever gotten was my basketball coach , freshman year , a life coach of mine just to never give up . Just because like , you've been through a lot of hard times with the recruiting process and like going through high school , not getting recruited as highly as I wanted to , um , just to never give up and trust God and everything will work out in the end , just trust the process . I mean , I played basketball because it's really good for offensive linemen for their feet and stuff because I mean , I was a bigger guy so obviously I can't move as well as the other fast guys .
