Wyatt Davis 787x

2017
Henry Bainivalu – OT – Seattle (WA) Skyline: Bainivalu is a 6’6″, 290 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #19 offensive tackle, and #110 overall. He quietly has Michigan as one of his top few schools, although Washington is probably out front. Bainivalu said he he may visit Michigan this weekend, so it’s not 100% set in stone. UPDATE: Bainivalu will visit during the week of April 11th instead.

Naytron Culpepper – CB – Miami (FL) Carol City: Culpepper is a 5’11”, 160 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Louisville, LSU, and South Carolina, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #39 safety, and #520 overall. He’s a teammate of 2017 linebacker De’Andre Wilder (see below).

Wyatt Davis – OT – Bellevue (CA) St. John Bosco: Davis is a 6’5″, 310 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, and Washington, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, the #7 offensive tackle, and #24 overall. He’s the son of actor Duane Davis (who was the Very Dumb Football Player in Beetlejuice and Alvin Mack in The Program), as well as the grandson of former Grambling State, Green Bay Packers, and Cleveland Browns defensive end Willie Davis, an NFL Hall of Famer. Much like Bainivalu, Davis is high on Michigan.

A.J. Dillon – RB – Groton (MA) Lawrence Academy: Dillon is a 6’1″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #19 running back, and #249 overall. He claims a 4.59 forty and a 4.39 shuttle. As a junior in 2015, he ran 187 times for 1,887 yards and 26 TDs. He is coming to Ann Arbor on March 22 and recently named the Wolverines to his top five. He’s the grandson of Notre Dame star Tom Gatewood, a College Football Hall of Fame wide receiver in the 1970s.

Westerville (OH) South running back Jaelen Gill

For no good reason except he’s the top-rated prospect in modern Michigan recruiting history, I’ll note that 2016 defensive tackle signee Rashan Gary is spending this week – his spring break week – at the University of Michigan.

2017
Richard Bowens III – CB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s:

Brendann Brown – RB – Farmington Hills (MI) Harrison:

Devin George – CB – Detroit (MI) Western International: George is a 5’9″, 170 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Ja’Raymond Hall – OT – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park: Hall committed to Michigan in December of 2015 (LINK).

A.J. Harris – S – Madison (AL) Bob Jones: Harris is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, Nebraska, and Ole Miss, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #21 safety, and #284 overall. It seems like he wants an Alabama offer, but the Crimson Tide have yet to extend one. Michigan will be holding a satellite camp at Bob Jones High School in June.

Ralph Holley – DT – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s:

Derrick Hubbard – LB – Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer: Hubbard is a 6’2″, 202 lb. prospect with offers from Iowa State and Toledo. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #72 outside linebacker, #1010 overall, and #26 in the state of Michigan. He’s a teammate of 2017 linebacker Antjuan Simmons (Ohio State).

Hit the jump for several more 2017 and 2018 offers.

2017
A.J. Harris – S – Madison (AL) Bob Jones: Harris is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, Nebraska, and Ole Miss, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #21 safety, and #284 overall. It seems like he wants an Alabama offer, but the Crimson Tide have yet to extend one. Michigan will be holding a satellite camp at Bob Jones High School in June.

LaBryan Ray – DE – Madison (AL) James Clemens: Ray is a 6’5″, 283 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 strongside end, and #176 overall. So far he has four Crystal Ball picks for Alabama and zero for anyone else.

2018
Jaelen Gill – RB – Westerville (OH) South: Gill is a 6’0″, 165 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and UCLA, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #1 all-purpose back, and #18 overall. He is considered to be a strong Ohio State lean, but with National Signing Day almost two years away, there’s plenty of time to make a decision.

Taj Mustapha – WR – Southfield (MI) Lathrup: Mustapha is a 6’1″, 170 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Dwayne Thompson – WR – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Thompson is a 6’0″, 174 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He claims a 4.73 forty, a 28″ vertical, and a 4.15 shuttle. He’s a teammate of 2017 Michigan TE commit Carter Dunaway.

Cincinnati (OH) Moeller TE Matt Dotson

Please consider following me on Twitter (LINK) and Facebook (LINK) or sharing links to the website via those platforms.

2017
Tyler Beach – OT – Port Washington (WI) Port Washington: Beach is a 6’8″, 270 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #40 offensive tackle, and #351 overall. It’s typically difficult to steal Wisconsin offensive linemen out of Wisconsin. However, the Badgers already have three offensive linemen committed in the 2017 class (OG Logan Bruss, OT Alex Fenton, and OG Kayden Lyles), so room is dwindling. Beach is the #1 prospect in the state of Wisconsin for this class. He will be at Michigan on Friday and Saturday.

Eno Benjamin – RB – Wylie (TX) East: Benjamin is a 5’10”, 204 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona, Baylor, Houston, Iowa, Michigan, and Oklahoma State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #14 running back, and #172 overall. He put up ridiculous numbers as a junior in 2015 with 366 carries for 2,652 yards and 41 touchdowns on the ground. Benjamin trains with former Michigan running back David Underwood and was longing for a Michigan offer, so he’s a player who could very well end up committing to Michigan. He is visiting Ann Arbor on Tuesday, March 8.
