The college football national championship game has a local flavor.

Chaney products Dj Waller & Jason Hewlett are members of the Michigan football team. Both are freshman.

Waller has seen action in 11 games with 12 tackles and was the freshman defensive player of the week several times as chosen by the Wolverines coaching staff.

Hewlett has not seen any playing time.

Also, former Youngstown State assistant Josh Sinagoga is a defensive analyst with the Wolverines.

Michigan plays Washington Monday for the national championship.
