2024 Recruiting Update: April 3, 2023

COMMITMENT

Charlotte (NC) Providence Day quarterback Jadyn Davis committed to Michigan on Friday (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2024

Dejuan Lane – S – Baltimore (MD) Gilman: Lane is a 6’3″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and others. He’s a 4-star, the #29 safety, and #292 overall. Gilman sent the likes of Henry Poggi and Stephen Spanellis to Michigan, but that was back when Biff Poggi was the head coach there, before he moved on to Michigan and Baltimore (MD) St. Frances. As for Lane himself, I think he might be headed for the linebacker position at the next level.

Thoughts on 2023 Spring Game

Okay, it’s time to put some thoughts about the spring game on paper.

QUARTERBACK: We know what J.J. McCarthy brings to the table, and Michigan was never going to let him factor into the run game, so whatever. This comes down to thoughts on the backups. After watching Michigan have a good 1-2 punch the past two years with McCarthy and Cade McNamara, there is a big question mark at the #2 quarterback spot in 2023. I thought redshirt sophomore Davis Warren once again outplayed the competition, which comes from Alex Orji and Indiana transfer Jack Tuttle. Tuttle had a couple decent throws and showed some decent athleticism on the run, but Warren is more accurate and probably a better decision maker, despite the fact that Tuttle is a sixth-year player. Orji has decent arm strength but leaves something to be desired when it comes to his timing and accuracy; running is the best part of his game, and he’s a change-up guy. I would put him at #4 on the depth chart.
