Kirk Herbstreit’s son, Chase, has done the unthinkable and split from his family’s tradition. And now we have heard from Kirk about it.
Word emerged on Sunday that Chase, who is a three-star quarterback recruit from Ohio, committed to Michigan. That was a shock considering Kirk and Kirk’s father both played at Ohio State, while two of Chase’s brothers are Buckeyes.
What would Kirk think of his youngest son choosing to play for the rival Wolverines? We now have the answer – sort of.
In a post on X, Kirk said he was “proud” of Chase for committing to Michigan.
“So proud of you Chase!” Herbstreit wrote. “Congratulations on this incredible opportunity. Look forward to watching you continue to grow and develop at Michigan. Keep grinding!!”
