Nightly Roundup: March 12, 2019

Jabrill Peppers, a 1st rounder, and a 3rd rounder are going from the Cleveland Browns to the New York Giants for Odell Beckham (LINK).

Here’s a recap of Jim Harbaugh’s weekly podcast (LINK). I don’t normally link these, but I posted it mainly to note that Michigan’s pro day will be this Friday, March 15. Harbaugh said that it will be all Michigan players, plus former Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight, who played at UCLA in 2018.

Wide receiver Devin Funchess is going to the Indianapolis Colts on a 1-year contract (LINK).

2020 Recruiting Update: March 11, 2019

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2020

Kobe Baynes – OG – Jacksonville (FL) Sandalwood: Baynes is a 6’4″, 301 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, UCF, USF, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #97 offensive tackle, and #1062 overall. Baynes has moved around a little bit due to family, so he’s not necessarily a Florida guy. Though he’s listed as an offensive tackle, he’ll probably be a guard in college.

Jasheen Davis – DE – Snellville (GA) Shiloh: Davis is a 6’3″, 230-pounder with offers from Georgia State, Louisville, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #41 weakside end, and #965 overall. It’s noteworthy that the only in-state program to offer so far is Georgia State and not the Bulldogs or Yellowjackets. He claims a 5.05 forty and a 4.83 shuttle.
