If you've watched any of Michigan's three weeks, you know Amara Darboh might be Blue's most competent wide receiver in a decade.

Until Thursday, Darboh was a citizen of Sierra Leone. He's now an American citizen.

From Freep.com:

Darboh's journey from war-torn Sierra Leone began when he was 2 or 3, with his family leaving for Gambia. He and his sister, brothers and mother worked their way to Iowa by the time he was 7 years old.

The Schaefer family in Des Moines took him in as a sixth-grader and Darboh's life has been full of promise ever since.

"Growing up, I have considered myself an American, and this was the final step," Darboh said.

The next step for young Darboh? Emigrating from the ravages of Ann Arbor.
