Recruiting Update: May 28, 2018

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2019

Dayton (OH) Dunbar offensive tackle Jon Allen was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’6″, 315 lb. prospect with offers from Louisville, Ohio State, and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #43 offensive tackle, and #466 overall. Ohio State holds all seven crystal ball picks, so he may not be worth evening paying attention.

Fort Pierce (FL) Vero Beach defensive end Jahfari Harvey was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’3″, 215-pounder with offers from Georgia, Miami, and Oregon, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #34 weakside end, and #486 overall. His recruitment has taken off lately, so he might be waiting to see if some of the other big-time programs offer, especially ones in Florida. The favorite right now is probably Miami.

Stuart (FL) Martin wide receiver George Johnson III was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’11”, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oregon, and USF, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #18 dual-threat quarterback, and #929 overall. While he plays quarterback in high school, he will probably have to convert to receiver at bigger programs such as Michigan. Right now he’s strongly considering playing quarterback at schools where he could be that dual-threat QB, like Georgia Tech.

Hit the jump for several guys who went off the board to other schools.

Richmond (VA) Henrico wide receiver Jahad Carter, a Virginia Tech commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 185 lb. prospect who also holds offers from South Carolina and Syracuse, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #73 athlete, and #773 overall. He has been committed to the Hokies since September of 2017.

St. Louis (MO) Trinity Catholic offensive guard Ira Henry was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’5″, 320-pounder with offers from Alabama, Florida, Illinois, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #73 offensive tackle, and #845 overall.

Madison (AL) Bob Jones cornerback Jaydon Hill was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 172 lb. corner with offers from Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #26 cornerback, and #294 overall. He had 5 interceptions and 26 pass breakups as a junior in 2017. I really like his style of play and I think he would fit in well in Michigan’s defensive scheme.
