Visitors: Michigan at Penn State

Brooklyn (NY) Poly OT Isaiah Wilson

With Michigan hitting the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and Maryland areas hard in recruiting, many of the Wolverines’ targets will be at Penn State this Saturday for the game. I won’t give a writeup on all of those players since I usually reserve that for home games, but here’s a list of players who will see Michigan win (or lose) against Penn State.

Senior Highlights: Rashad Weaver

Cooper City (FL) Cooper City defensive end Rashad Weaver completed his senior season. He made 53 tackles, 7 sacks, 1 interception (returned for a TD), 2 forced fumbles, 6 pass breakups, 2 blocked punts, and 2 blocked field goals, according to Maizenbrew.

It’s hard not to be impressed with Weaver’s senior film. Despite going to a large high school, he looks like a man among boys out there on the football field. Listed at 6’5″, 241 lbs., he dwarfs the competition. He has also improved his explosiveness, technique, and athleticism from his junior year. I would not be surprised to see a rankings bump before February. He’s a currently a 247 Composite 3-star, the #112 defensive tackle, and #1930 overall.

Hit the jump for the film.

Recruiting Update: November 11, 2015

Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer LB Antjuan Simmons

COMMITMENT
Boulder (CO) Fairview defensive end/outside linebacker Carlo Kemp committed to Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017
Cincinnati (OH) Moeller offensive guard Matthew Dotson was offered by Michigan. Dotson is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #12 tight end, and #354 overall. He claims a 4.82 forty. Dotson is a big body with good body control, but he is not supremely athletic or dynamic after the catch. Ohio State typically gets its pick of the litter from Ohio tight ends (witness Jake Hausmann and Luke Farrell in 2016), but Michigan has a really good chance at finishing second.

Hit the jump for a few more new offers, a commitment elsewhere, and some random bits.
