The [late] signing period opens up on Wednesday. February’s National Signing Day used to mean fireworks, but there won’t be many fireworks for Michigan this year, as they signed most of their class back in December.
Here is a list of the uncommitted prospects remaining on Michigan’s offer board:
- Maryland S Bryce Barnes
- California RB Jabari Bates
- California CB Tayvion Beasley
- Michigan LB Jordan Cannon
- Louisiana RB TreVonte Citizen
- Washington OT Josh Conerly
- Georgia WR Syveion Ellis
- California CB Jahlil Florence
- Florida RB Terrance Gibbs
- California DE Gracen Halton
- Pennsylvania DT Lavon Johnson
- Georgia LB E.J. Lightsey
- Louisiana S Jacoby Mathews
- Texas TE Trent McGaughey
- Maryland WR Lamar Patterson
- Maryland DT Nasir Pearce
- New Jersey CB Avery Powell
- Alabama OT Riley Quick
- Florida LB Devin Smith
- Nevada LB Robby Snelling
- Florida DE Shemar Stewart
- Washington DT Peter Taiopu

Of the players listed above, Michigan is only really involved with offensive tackle Josh Conerly. Conerly was at one time considered a Michigan lean, but he has already taken official and unofficial visits to Ann Arbor. Things seem to be trending away from Michigan since Conerly still plans to visit other schools after Wednesday. He does not plan to sign on February 2, and much like 2021 prospect J.T. Tuimalu, he will likely just show up to the school of his choice over the summer. His primary options include Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, USC, and Washington.
Meanwhile, Michigan “commit” Kevonte Henry will probably end up signing elsewhere. He did not sign with the Wolverines in December, and despite not rescinding his verbal commitment, Michigan has essentially stopped pursuing him. Arizona, Oklahoma, and Washington are all more likely to receive his signature than Michigan.
Of the two in-state prospects on the list above, linebacker Jordan Cannon was never strongly pursued by Michigan. And wide receiver Tay’shawn Trent was at one time committed to the Wolverines, but the two parties mutually agreed to part ways due to some issues on Trent’s end. Neither one is expected to end up with the in-state Wolverines.
Aside from the pursuit of Conerly, Michigan has mostly moved on to the 2023 class and will also probably look at the transfer portal this spring and summer.
