Ep. 1 - Early Childhood, High School Years & Recruitment to Michigan HUTCH: The Story of Aidan Hutchinson

Aidan discusses his early childhood experiences, interests outside of football and relationships with his father (Chris Hutchinson), mother (Melissa Hutchinson) and older sisters (Aria & Mia Hutchinson). Chris and Aidan speak to just how important Michigan is to the family and how immersed he was in the culture surrounding Wolverines football at an early age. High school head coach John Filiatraut comes on to detail how talented Aidan was early on in his Divine Child High School football career. Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh, Chris and Aidan all offer stories from his recruitment to Michigan and ultimately his decision to become a Wolverine.
