It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a recruiting update. There’s only so much time in the week, and Michigan recruiting has been pretty slow, anyway. But enough stuff has built up by this point that I think I should clear the cache.

COMMITMENTS

Washington (DC) St. John’s quarterback Kevin Doyle committed to Michigan (LINK).

Hit the jump for some new offers and some guys who committed elsewhere.

2018

Brian Asamoah – LB – Columbus (OH) St. Francis DeSales: Asamoah is a 6’0″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Kentucky, Michigan, Penn State, and Pitt, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #45 outside linebacker, and #635 overall. Right now all three Crystal Ball picks are in favor of Cincinnati. Asamoah was supposed to visit a few weeks ago, but Jim Harbaugh was out of town, so he rescheduled. The word is that Michigan is concentrating on Dallas Gant as their primary – and lone – linebacker target right now, so they may not push for Asamoah. He’s visiting on Saturday, April 8.

Christian Turner – RB – Buford (GA) Buford: Turner is a 5’11”, 187 lb. runner with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #30 running back, and #494 overall. He visited Michigan on Thursday, April 6.

2019

Logan Brown – OT – Kentwood (MI) East Kentwood: Brown is a 6’6″, 280 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan and Wisconsin, among others.

M.J. Griffin – CB – Saline (MI) Saline: Griffin is a 5’10”, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Indiana, Iowa State, and a couple MAC schools. He’s a transfer from Belleville (MI) Belleville.

Drake Thomas – LB – Wake Forest (NC) Heritage: Thomas is a 6’0″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Marshall, Michigan, North Carolina, and North Carolina State, among others. Michigan was his first offer. He’ll be in town today, April 7.

2018

Brian Asamoah – LB – Columbus (OH) St. Francis DeSales: Asamoah is a 6’0″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pitt, and UCLA, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #44 linebacker, and #609 overall. Right now 100% of his Crystal Ball picks are in favor of Cincinnati, and he plans to announce on April 21. It’s not clear whether he’s a take for Michigan right now, since they took so many linebackers in the 2017 class, but he has named Michigan to his top 6. UPDATE: Asamoah cancelled his visit, supposedly because Jim Harbaugh won’t be in Ann Arbor.

Trent Gordon – CB – Manvel (TX) Manvel: Gordon is a 5’11”, 172 lb. prospect with offers from Cal, Colorado, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #38 cornerback, and #446 overall. As a junior in 2016, he made 81 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, and 10 pass breakups. He’ll be in town on Tuesday, March 14.

With all the hype surrounding the season, it’s been a while since I have updated you on Michigan’s recruiting situation, including the 2018 class. Here’s a look at the new faces of juniors who are wrapping up their seasons at this time of year.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Columbus (OH) St. Francis DeSales linebacker Brian Asamoah was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Indiana, Penn State, Pitt, and UCLA, among others. He’s an aggressive outside linebacker type who would probably fit what Michigan wants as a SAM linebacker. He attends the alma mater of former Michigan lineman Patrick Omameh.

Stafford (VA) North Stafford offensive tackle Nana Asiedu was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’6″, 265 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #11 offensive tackle, and #99 overall. A lithe left tackle prospect, Asiedu moves really well, finishes blocks, but generally does a good job of destroying people and then just calmly jogging away.

Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei offensive tackle Tommy Brown was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’7″, 315 lb. prospect with offers from Cal, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, and UCLA, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #7 offensive tackle, and #57 overall. He’s a teammate of a couple of fellow recent Michigan offerees, 2019 quarterback J.T. Daniels and 2019 wide receiver Bru McCoy.

Hit the jump for several more new offers in the 2018 class.
