Nashville (TN) Lipscomb defensive tackle Rutger Reitmaier, an Oregon commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’3″, 270 lb. prospect with offers from Nebraska, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #24 defensive tackle, and #360 overall. The U.S. Army All-American has been committed to the Ducks since June, but at 2-4 and with questions about head coach Mark Helfrich’s job, other teams are going to be poking around Oregon’s commits.

Hit the jump for a couple new 2018 offers, a couple 2019 offers, a few guys who committed elsewhere, and some random bits.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017

Flower Mound (TX) Marcus cornerback Matt Hankins, an Iowa commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 158 lb. prospect with offers from Colorado, Houston, Missouri, and Texas Tech, among others. He committed to the Hawkeyes in June of 2016 and is a 247 Composite 3-star, the #87 cornerback, and #856 overall. He has a 4.34 shuttle and a 35″ vertical.

Cheshire (CT) Cheshire Academy cornerback Brandon Sebastian, a Boston College commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Rutgers, Syracuse, and UConn, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #139 cornerback, and #1318 overall. Sebastian committed to the Eagles in April of 2016, but he’s a teammate of 2017 wide receiver Tarik Black, whom Michigan is recruiting pretty yard, and that may have been the impetus for the offer. On his Hudl page, he claims a 4.32 forty, a 3.89 shuttle, a 10.65 in the 100 meters, and a 39″ vertical. Those numbers sound great, but they also seem exaggerated.

Hit the jump for some 2018 and 2019 news, as well.
