Perry Dorrestein, a star offensive lineman for Plainfield Central High School and the University of Michigan, signed a deal Wednesday to play for the New York Jets.

Dorrestein, 23, who graduated from Central in 2006, started 22 of 31 games for the Wolverines, including 10 in 2010, according to a U-M media release.
