Jaden Mangham says Michigan football is 'different' than Michigan State

Former Michigan State football safety Jaden Mangham, who transferred to rival Michigan this offseason, was on a show with Sam Webb of TheMichiganInsider this week, and for the first time, he talked about the differences in his new home with MSU’s biggest rival.

You can see Mangham’s comments below, presented without comment:

“My experience has been great,” Mangham said. “You know, coming in, I could tell it was different. Like, doing things — the lifts, workouts, just running, seeing how people carried themselves, seeing how people prepare, you know? Seeing that, it was different. There were some guys who did do a little bit of that but, you know, it’s just so much more here.”

“I talk to a lot of the guys — Alex [Orji], Will [Johnson], all of them, Makari [Paige], Colston [Loveland]. I talk to a lot of them just to see how everything’s going, making sure I’m doing good, which I appreciate,” Mangham said. “But, you know, just coming in here, it’s been different and they’ve been helping me a lot. The resources that are here, they’re amazing. So, I’m taking advantage of everything that I have here, using it for my success so I can become an even better player and a better person.”

Michigan safety Makari Paige had this to say about his new teammate:

“Yeah we’ve embraced him with love, for sure,” Paige said. “Convos be like, just joking on Michigan State, for real. Like, yeah, got y’alls butt whooped 49-0 — something like that.”
