As much as Big Ten teams love having fans back this year after playing without spectators in the pandemic-delayed 2020 season, the change is requiring some adjustments because communicating on the field isn’t quite as easy as it was a year ago when they were in empty stadiums.

The 6′1″, 210-pounder from Richmond, Virginia, was committed to the SMU Mustangs since May 13, but head coach Sherrone Moore and his staff were able to flip Dabney during his official visit to Ann Arbor.
According to reports, the Huguenot High School standout had offers from Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, SMU, and Arizona before ultimately landing with the men in maize.
