2022 Recruiting Update: January 18, 2021

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2022

D.J. Allen – WR – Gladewater (TX) Gladewater: Allen is a 6’0″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Baylor, Houston, New Mexico, and SMU. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #63 wide receiver in the country. As a junior in 2020, he caught 59 passes for 1,316 yards and 17 touchdowns. It’s very early in his recruitment (three of his six offers came in the last week), so it’s tough to gauge where he might be leaning.

I would say “again,” but I wasn’t blogging about recruiting back in 2004 when Mike Hart committed to Michigan as a player.

Hart is joining Michigan’s coaching staff as running backs coach after spending the past several years coaching at Eastern Michigan (2011-2013), Western Michigan (2014-2015), Syracuse (2016), and Indiana (2017-2020). That followed a college career with the Wolverines, when he finished as Michigan’s leading career rusher, and a short career with the Indianapolis Colts. Hart happens to be the last Michigan running back to get drafted, an agonizingly long gap since 2008.

Highlights: Stars of the National Championship Game

Michigan and Alabama don’t always cross paths in recruiting, so I wanted to go back and watch highlights of some of the stars of Monday’s national championship game. So here are a few of the guys who really stood out for Alabama and Ohio State.

Devonta Smith – WR – Amite (LA) Amite: Smith was a 4-star, the #9 wide receiver, and #62 overall in the 2017 class.

Goodbye, Nick Eubanks

HIGH SCHOOL
Eubanks attended Fort Lauderdale (FL) American Heritage, a program pretty well known for producing college prospect. He was a 3-star, the #15 tight end, and #344 overall in the class of 2016. Michigan secured his commitment late in the process, and he was one of three tight ends in that class, joining Sean McKeon and Devin Asiasi. I gave Eubanks a TTB Rating of 44 (LINK), largely because I thought Asiasi (a 92 rating) and McKeon (77) would push him out.
