COMMITMENT
Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson announced his intention to transfer to Michigan (LINK).
Zephyrhills (FL) Wesley Chapel cornerback Isaiah Bolden decommitted from Oregon. He will probably be following Willie Taggart to Florida State.
Colony (CA) Colony tight end Michael Ezeike decommitted from Oregon. He’s a 4-star, the #13 tight end, and #251 overall. It’s unclear if Michigan will pursue him, as they have two tight end commits already and are pursuing Georgia’s Tommy Tremble. Ezeike is a wide receiver/tight end hybrid type of player.
Yoakum (TX) Yoakum wide receiver Joshua Moore decommitted from Nebraska. He’s a 4-star, the #17 wide receiver, and #85 overall. Michigan was never really involved prior to his commitment, and I doubt they will become a factor now.

Harrisburg (PA) Harrisburg defensive end Micah Parsons decommitted from Penn State. He’s a 5-star, the #1 weakside end, and #3 overall in the 247 Composite. Normally this would seem like good news, except all the Crystal Ball picks coming in are for Ohio State.
Richmond (TX) Fort Bend Travis wide receiver Arjei Henderson decommitted from Oklahoma. Michigan offered him earlier this month. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #9 wide receiver, and #37 overall. The 6’1″, 179-pounder has also landed offers from Auburn, LSU, Notre Dame, and Tennessee recently.
Hit the jump for several players who went off the board.
Kennedale (TX) Kennedale LB Baron Browning
Toryque Bateman – OT – Gadsden (AL) Gadsden City: Bateman is a 6’8″, 305 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, and Tennesee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #44 offensive tackle, and #403 overall.
Baron Browning – LB – Kennedale (TX) Kennedale: Browning is a 6’3″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from just about every major program across the country. He was previously committed to Baylor, though he decommitted well before the poop hit the fan in Waco. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, the #2 outside linebacker, and #8 overall. His older brother, Barry, played cornerback at Stanford for Jim Harbaugh.
Tory Carter – FB – Leesburg (GA) Lee County: Carter is a 6’2″, 255 lb. prospect who committed to LSU in May; he also has offers from Troy and Michigan, the latter of which he picked up on Tuesday. Carter is a 247 Composite 3-star, the #3 fullback, and #1653 overall.
