1 running back recruit in the class of 2024, Taylor Tatum found himself on both Oklahoma’s football and baseball rosters entering college. This year, Tatum is going all in on the Michigan baseball team. “I knew from recruiting Taylor the first time that the baseball piece was really, really important to him,” Smith said Feb 6 at Michigan Baseball Media Day. But in high school, Tatum was a center fielder with running-back speed — traits similar to Wolverines redshirt junior center fielder Evan Haeger. For the first time in several years, Tatum will pick up a baseball bat and potentially open his collegiate career.
