ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2020

Bryce Austin – DT – Southfield (MI) A&T: Austin is a 6’2″, 280 lb. prospect with offers from Boston College, Michigan State, Missouri, and Pitt, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #22 defensive tackle, and #314 overall. He visited Ann Arbor last weekend and was given the offer while on campus. He’s a teammate of 2020 quarterback Anthony Romphf, whom Michigan offered a couple weeks ago.

Brian Branch – WR – Tyrone (GA) Sandy Creek: Branch is a 6’0″, 175-pounder with offers from Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #26 safety, and #442 overall. As a junior in 2018, he had 5 interceptions, 15 catches for 368 yards and 3 touchdowns, and 2 kickoff return touchdowns.

Gary Bryant, Jr. – WR – Corona (CA) Centennial: Bryant is a 5’10”, 160 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and USC, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #17 wide receiver, and #75 overall.

Hit the jump for a bunch of other new offers.

Cullen Coleman – DE – Rye (NY) Country Day: Coleman is a 6’3″, 220-pounder with offers from Baylor, Notre Dame, UMass, and some Ivy League programs. He plays a variety of positions for his high school team (RB, FB, LB, etc.), but with his build, I believe he will eventually grow into a weakside end.

Antonio Doyle, Jr. – LB – Hazelwood (MO) Lutheran North: Doyle is a 6’4″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #41 outside linebacker, and #502 overall. Despite having the size of a defensive end, he moves well and could keep his hand up at the next level, depending on what type of system he plays in.

Jaiden Francois – S – Homstead (FL) South Dade: Francois is a 6’0″, 184-pounder with offers from Auburn, Georgia, Miami, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #25 safety, and #397 overall. He claims a 4.71 forty, a 4.3 shuttle, and a 33.2″ vertical.

Darion Green-Warren – CB – Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei: Green-Warren is a 6’0″, 183 lb. prospect who committed to Oklahoma back in July of last year. He’s a 4-star, the #10 cornerback, and #87 overall.

Ty Hamilton – DE – Pickerington (OH) Central: Hamilton is a 6’3″, 250-pounder with offers from Kentucky and a bunch of MAC schools. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #38 strongside end, and #821 overall. He attends the alma mater of former Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton.

Devin Hightower – LB – Akron (OH) Hoban: Hightower is a 6’2″, 205 lb. prospect with no other offers at this time. He transferred from Lakewood (OH) St. Edward prior to his junior year, so he went from being a teammate of Quintel Kent (and Caden Kolesar and Jordan Castleberry) to being a teammate of Nolan Rumler.

Nikhai Hill-Green – LB – Pittsburgh (PA) North Catholic: Hill-Green is a 6’1″, 208-pounder with offers from Boston College, Vanderbilt, and a bunch of MAC programs. He’s a 4-star, the #26 outside linebacker, and #338 overall.

Jaylan Jeffers – OT – Scottsdale (AZ) Saguaro: Jeffers is a 6’6″, 260 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona, Arizona State, and Oregon, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #83 offensive tackle, and #818 overall. He’s a teammate of 2020 cornerback Kelee Ringo and linebacker Damian Sellers.

Keontae Jenkins – CB – Virginia Beach (VA) Cox: Jenkins is a 5’10”, 165-pounder with offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Penn State, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #20 cornerback, and #232 overall. Michigan has really struggled to successfully recruit the Virginia Beach area, despite all the elite talent that comes from the region, so while Jenkins looks like an excellent corner, I don’t expect anything to come from it.

A.J. Johnson – WR – East St. Louis (MO) East St. Louis: Johnson is a 6’2″, 185-pounder with offers from Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #10 safety, and #192 overall.

Bangally Kamara – LB – Akron (OH) East: Kamara is a 6’1″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Kentucky, Maryland, and others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #40 safety, and #687 overall.

Andrej Karic – OT – Southlake (TX) Carroll: Karic is a 6’5″, 240 lb. prospect with offers from Baylor, Houston, Oregon, TCU, and Texas Tech, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #60 offensive tackle, and #570 overall. Michigan also offered his 2022 quarterback teammate Quinn Ewers.

Micah Mazzccua – OG – Baltimore (MD) St. Frances: Mazzccua is a 6’5″, 289 lb. prospect with offers from Maryland and Temple.

Mordecai McDaniel – CB – Washington (DC) St. John’s: McDaniel is a 6’3″, 187-pounder with offers from LSU, Maryland, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #87 wide receiver, and #446 overall. He could play wide receiver, cornerback, or safety at the next level. He was a teammate of 2019 Michigan commit Quinten Johnson. His highlights are full of him destroying opponents on special teams.

Jeffrey Persi – OT – San Juan Capistrano (CA) Junipero Serra: Persi is a 6’7″, 265 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona State, Cal, and USC, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #56 offensive tackle, and #517 overall.

Kentron Poitier – WR – Miami (FL) Palmetto: Poitier is a 6’4″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Florida State, Miami, and Oregon, among others. As a junior in 2018, he caught 29 passes for 538 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Emanuel “Manny” Rogers – DT – Jensen Beach (FL) Jensen Beach: Rogers is a 6’5″, 300-pounder who also has an offer from LSU. He reminds me a little bit of William Campbell, even though he has yet to be ranked and doesn’t have many offers. I think there’s a possibility that his best future may be on the offensive line.

Michael Statham – OT – Baltimore (MD) St. Frances: Statham is a 6’6″, 300-pounder with offers from UMass, Michigan State, Missouri, and West Virginia. He’s a teammate of new 2020 Michigan linebacker commit Osman Savage.

OFF THE BOARD

Kevin Swint – LB – Carrollton (GA) Carrollton: Swint committed to Clemson. He’s a 4-star, the #9 outside linebacker, and #195 overall. Clemson is #9 overall in the 2020 team recruiting rankings.

Tre’ Williams – DT – Washington (DC) St. John’s: Williams committed to Clemson, too. He’s the #6 defensive tackle and #96 overall in the class.

MISCELLANEY

Arlington (TX) Mansfield Timberview cornerback Jalen Kimber named Michigan to his top 10. He’s a 4-star, the #31 cornerback, and #471 overall.
