Alex VanSumeren, Ex-Wolverine

Essexville (MI) Garber defensive tackle Alex VanSumeren decommitted from Michigan on Thursday night. He is currently ranked as a 247 Composite 4-star, the #16 defensive tackle, and #223 overall.

Here’s my commitment post for him (LINK).

This is kind of a big deal to lose a 4-star defensive tackle recruit, but Michigan just signed a few defensive tackles in the 2021 class. It’s unclear whether that factored in or not, but it’s also noteworthy that VanSumeren’s older brother, Ben, is rumored to be on the verge of transferring from Michigan. VanSumeren has bounced around between fullback, running back, and linebacker in college, and his future seems uncertain.

Michigan still has five commitments remaining in the 2022 class, including River Rouge (MI) River Rouge defensive tackle Davonte Miles.

The Super Bowl is tonight

Michigan has several representatives in the Super Bowl tonight, and if you’re rooting based on Michigan ties, the Kansas City Chiefs are your team:

• DE Taco Charlton (reserve/injured)
• DE Frank Clark
• DE Mike Danna
• QB Chad Henne
• OG Patrick Omameh (practice squad)

If you’re rooting for the GOAT, Tom Brady, then here are your fellow Wolverines:

• QB Tom Brady
• P Matt Wile (practice squad)

Either way, tonight is going to be a good night for at least a couple wearers of the Maize and Blue.

What’s your prediction?

I’ll say 34-27, Chiefs.
