ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Arlington (TX) Lamar defensive tackle Bobby Brown III was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’4″, 275 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Houston, Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #14 defensive tackle, and #152 overall. He claims a 4.63 forty, which would be mighty impressive for a 275-pounder. He plays defensive end in a three-man front in high school, but I don’t think he has the quickness to play end in college, despite the “4.63 forty.”

Hit the jump for a couple more new offers, some guys who went off the board, and some random bits.

Chandler (AZ) Hamilton QB Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough – QB – Chandler (AZ) Hamilton:

Shough is a 6’4″, 187 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, and Michigan, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #20 pro-style quarterback, and #544 overall. As a junior in 2016, he completed 142/228 passes for 2,079 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. Shough has said that he’s not afraid of competition or of Michigan taking two quarterbacks in the 2017 class, so he supposedly won’t be scared off by the recent commitment of Olympia (FL) Olympia’s Joe Milton

to the Wolverines. Shough plans to be on campus on Saturday, May 13.

I am by no means an encyclopedia of information when it comes to the national recruiting scene, because I am just one man following one team. But I sure do appreciate a good highlight film when I see one. With Michigan offering about 300 players per cycle, as a conservative guess, I probably watch 400-500 highlight videos per year. There are certainly other players I miss who have amazing highlights, but here are the top three I’ve seen early in 2018.
