2022 Recruiting Update: February 4, 2020

With signing day for 2020 and a bunch of new offers in 2021, there hasn’t been much room for 2022 updates in a while. So here’s a start on catching up:

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2022

Bear Alexander – DT – Dallas (TX) Skyline: Alexander is a 6’4″, 333 lb. prospect with offers from Baylor, Florida, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #6 defensive tackle, and #96 overall. According to 247, he had to play JV as a sophomore due to transferring after his freshman year, so 2020 will be his first time playing varsity competition.

Fisher Anderson – OT – Franklin (TN) Franklin: Anderson is a 6’6″, 257-pounder with offers from Georgia and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #8 offensive tackle, and #91 overall.

Former Michigan lineman Steve Hutchinson made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Two of my Cool Story, Bro moments:

1. Steve Hutchinson came to one of my high school games (not to see me, but still).
2. I randomly saw Steve Hutchinson on Key West one time.

Congratulations to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020:
