Belleville (MI) Belleville cornerback Julian Barnett, a Michigan State commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’1″, 186-pounder who claims a 4.41 forty, along with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oregon, among others. Barnett could play corner or wide receiver at the next level. There has been much consternation from Michigan fans about why the Wolverines hadn’t offered earlier, and the pursuit has unfortunately begun after he committed to MSU in late December.
Lakeville (MN) North offensive tackle Bryce Benhart was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’7″, 285 lb. prospect with offers from Minnesota, Notre Dame, UCLA, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #43 offensive tackle, and #381 overall. The early expectation is that he will end up at Wisconsin.
Buford (GA) Buford running back Derrian Brown was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’11”, 174 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oregon, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #13 running back, and #143 overall. Brown is a teammate of 2018 Michigan signee Christian Turner, which is quite a one-two punch in the backfield.
Hit the jump for a bunch of other new offers.

He must be a pretty smart kid with that offer list. DiCosmo could also play tight end/H-back at the next level.
Hollywood (FL) Chaminade-Madonna wide receiver John Dunmore, a Florida commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 172 lb. prospect with other offers from Auburn, Georgia, Nebraska, Oregon, Pitt, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #25 wide receiver, and #132 overall.

He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #15 inside linebacker, and #518 overall. Despite seemingly having Viper-type size right now, he has a thick lower body and will probably end up being a MIKE or WILL.

He’s a 3-star, the #48 athlete, and #481 overall. In the last couple years, McDuffie has transferred from Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei to Rancho Santa Margarita (CA) Rancho Santa Margarita to Anaheim (CA) Servite to St. John Bosco, and I find it a little bit curious when a high school transfers that many times.
Hagerstown (MD) St. James School wide receiver John Metchie was offered by Michigan. He’s 5’11”, 190 lbs. and has offers from Maryland, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #101 wide receiver, and #728 overall. He had just 6 catches as a junior in 2017, but they went for 184 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Austin (TX) Lake Travis wide receiver Garrett Wilson was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Florida State, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others.

OFF THE BOARD
Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei quarterback J.T. Daniels reclassified from 2019 to 2018. Why is that significant? Well, Daniels was a high priority for Michigan at one time, but he committed to USC. If Michigan had any chance of flipping him, that disappeared when he reclassified, and now he’s signed, sealed, and delivered to the Trojans. (Okay, technically he isn’t signed yet, but he’s a lock for USC now.)
