2016 Michigan Satellite Camp Offer List

Donovan Winter 965x

Michigan went on a wild run of offering prospects during the 2015 Summer Swarm tour. Some of them committed . . . and then decommitted. So here I’ll track the players who were offered during the 2016 satellite camp tour. That way we can refer back to them as the camps progress and as their recruitment develops.

Keep in mind that players cannot be offered during the camps, since that would be a recruiting violation. The offers have to take place after the camp has finished.

2020

  • Courtney Holmes – LB – Miami (FL) Columbus

A more in-depth discussion of these prospects will be included in the players’ classes’ respective recruiting updates.
