Eyabi Anoma – DE – Baltimore (MD) St. Frances: Anoma is a 6’5″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Maryland, and Michigan, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #3 weakside end, and #41 overall. His head coach, Biff Poggi, says that Anoma is the best player he’s ever coached, and that includes a bunch of a high-quality players from his days at Baltimore (MD) Gilman. Anoma also visited for the BBQ at the Big House. All six Crystal Ball picks have him going to Alabama. This is his official visit.
Michael Barrett – RB – Valdosta (GA) Lowndes: Barrett is a 5’11”, 215 lb. dual-threat quarterback who projects to running back in college. He’s a 3-star, the #61 athlete, and #706 overall with offers from LSU, Maryland, and Michigan, among others. This is his official visit. UPDATE: Barrett is no longer visiting.
Ja’Marr Chase – WR – Metairie (LA) Archbishop Rummel: Chase is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect who recently decommitted from Florida. He’s a 4-star, the #12 wide receiver, and #69 overall with offers from Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, TCU, and Tennessee, among others. TCU has taken the Crystal Ball lead with 76% of current predictions. Michigan just recently offered, so that relationship is still new, but it’s a positive sign that he scheduled a visit to Ann Arbor so quickly. This is his official visit.
Hit the jump for several more visitors.

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.
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.
