Michigan fans are chomping at the bit for 2016's number one overall recruit, five-star defensive lineman Rashan Gary, to hit the field this fall and make a quick impact on Greg Mattison's defensive line.

In the meantime, however, Gary is already showing he's an elite player in the gym as well, putting up 225 lbs. 26 times in a recent off-season workout. This is according to a tweet by fellow freshman Elysee Mbem-Bosse.

To put 26 repetitions into perspective, Gary's lift would have been better than Ohio State's Joey Bosa, Michigan State's Jack Conklin, Jack Allen and Shilque Calhoun and also higher than former Wolverine Graham Glasgow, all of whom had a lower amount of reps at the recent NFL combine in April.

The former Paramus (NJ) Catholic prospect is expected to play mostly on the outside of the line this season before moving in as he continues to grow in the weight room. It sounds like he's growing pretty fast to start things out. The aforementioned Mattison is already looking forward to seeing what he can do in the Maize and Blue.

“I always evaluate a guy how he plays all four years, (but) the one thing Rashan has had is great coaching in high school and had great coaching when the season was over with people that understand pass rush and understand the basics,” Mattison recently told the Detroit Free Press. “He’s worked with them and he continues to get better and better. That’s been a big plus for him. And he’s really motivated. He really wants to be great.”
