Here’s a list of notable players who are expected to participate in the Detroit Sound Mind Sound Body camp on Thursday and Friday. Players are coming from all over the country, from Michigan and California and Florida and Virginia and South Carolina, to participate.
Hit the jump for a pretty extensive list.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018
Snellville (GA) South Gwinnett defensive tackle Robert Cooper was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 362 lb. behemoth with offers from Florida State, Mississippi State, Missouri, and Notre Dame, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #11 defensive tackle, and #85 overall. He claims a 455 lb. bench press and a 505 lb. squat. For such a large kid, Cooper’s quickness of the ball is pretty impressive.
Fort Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas wide receiver Elijah Moore was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’11”, 178 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Miami, Mississippi State, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #11 wide receiver, and #97 overall. He claims a 4.47 forty. Moore earned his Michigan offer when he attended the satellite camp at St. Thomas Aquinas a few days ago. He’s a teammate of numerous other prospects who have been offered by the Wolverines.
MISCELLANEY
I’m keeping a running list of Michigan’s satellite camps, participants, etc. (LINK).
I’ve also started a list of the players who earn offers at Michigan’s satellite camps, including Moore (LINK).

Michigan went on a wild run of offering prospects during the 2015 Summer Swarm tour. Some of them committed . . . and then decommitted. So here I’ll track the players who were offered during the 2016 satellite camp tour. That way we can refer back to them as the camps progress and as their recruitment develops.
Keep in mind that players cannot be offered during the camps, since that would be a recruiting violation. The offers have to take place after the camp has finished.
A more in-depth discussion of these prospects will be included in the players’ classes’ respective recruiting updates.
Stone Mountain (GA) Stephenson OG Jalil Irvin
Stone Mountain (GA) Stephenson offensive guard Jalil Irvin committed to Michigan on Friday. He chose the Wolverines over offers from Illinois and Tulane.
Irvin is a 6’4″, 270 lb. prospect.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018
Clearwater (FL) Catholic Central wide receiver Amari Burney was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’1″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Florida, Louisville, Miami, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #16 wide receiver, and #120 overall. He’s a thickly built kid who’s a possession type of receiver.
Bradenton (FL) Braden River cornerback Tyrone Collins was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’10”, 164 lb. prospect whose lone other offer comes from Boston College and Florida Atlantic, among others. He claims a 4.5 forty. He’s a very slight, quick cover corner with some good playmaking ability, and he’s not afraid of contact, either.
Chicago (IL) Mt. Carmel cornerback Houston Griffith was offered by Michigan when he visited two weekends ago. He’s a 6’0″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Florida State, Illinois, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #7 cornerback, and #72 overall. Griffith is a physical corner, though his highlights do not necessarily show a guy who’s the #72 overall player in the country. He’s the son of former Illinois and NFL fullback Howard Griffith.
Hit the jump for several other new offers in the class of 2018.
