ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Valdosta (GA) Lowndes running back Michael Barrett was offered by Michigan. At 5’11” and 208 lbs., Barrett is a 3-star, the #20 dual-threat quarterback, and #589 overall. LSU, Maryland, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia have also offered him. Barrett plays quarterback in high school, but Michigan is recruiting him as a running back or athlete. He may not have ideal size or throwing ability for a quarterback in Michigan’s system, but he did completed 132/213 passes for 2,753 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions as a junior in 2016; he also ran 168 times for 1,283 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Hit the jump for a couple more offers and some random bits.

Verdis Brown – OG – Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy: Brown is a 6’3″, 294 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, LSU, Michigan, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #7 offensive guard, and #147 overall.

Sammy Faustin – S – Naples (FL) Naples: Faustin is a 6’2″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona, Maryland, and Michigan, among others. He’s currently unranked by the 247 Composite rankings. Right now all three Crystal Ball predictions are in favor of Michigan.

Tyler Friday – DT – Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco Prep: Friday is a 6’3″, 260 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #2 defensive tackle, and #39 overall. Michigan has landed the top player in the state of New Jersey three out of the last four years (Drew Singleton in 2017, Rashan Gary in 2016, and Jabrill Peppers in 2014), and they’re hoping to do so again. Right now Michigan has 80% of the Crystal Ball picks.

Ryan Hayes – OT – Traverse City (MI) West: Hayes is a 6’7″, 252 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, and Notre Dame, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #12 OT, and #153 overall. Right now Notre Dame has the Crystal Ball lead with 75%.

Rome (GA) Rome defensive end Jamarcus Chatman was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’3″, 261 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Florida State, LSU, and Texas, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #14 strongside end, and #355 overall.

Houston (TX) Dekaney tight end Malcolm Epps decommitted from Alabama. He’s a 6’5″, 218 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #6 tight end, and #134 overall. This happened back in early February, but somehow I forgot to post about it. Anyway, despite Michigan pursuing him hard at times, he appears right now to be headed for in-state Texas.

DeSoto (TX) DeSoto cornerback German Green was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 168 lb. prospect with offers from Colorado, Houston, and Oklahoma State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #78 cornerback, and #848 overall. He’s the twin brother of 2018 cornerback Gemon Green, whom Michigan offered previously and is recruiting pretty hard. Gemon is the #34 cornerback and #398 overall.

Hit the jump for a new 2019 offer, a new 2020 offer, and some other bits.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018

Melbourne (FL) Holy Trinity Episcopal running back Jashaun Corbin was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 191 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Florida State, North Carolina, and Oregon, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #41 running back, and #700 overall. As a junior in 2017, he had 107 carries for 1,022 yards and 11 touchdowns; he also had 25 catches for 619 yards and 7 touchdowns. Corbin actually looks like a decent prospect, but if you watch his highlights, I’m not promising good football. Small crowds, lollygagging, and such will ensue.

Frisco (TX) Wakeland offensive tackle Rafiti Ghirmai was offered by Michigan. Ghirmai is a 6’4″, 290-pounder with offers from Alabama, Baylor, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, TCU, and Texas, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #26 offensive tackle, and #358 overall. He looks like he might be a guard at the next level.

Stockbridge (GA) Woodland offensive tackle James Ohonba was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’5″, 350 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #20 offensive tackle, and #264 overall. He’s a big, burly lineman who looks like he too might end up playing offensive guard in college, since he doesn’t move extremely well at 350.

Hit the jump for some more new 2018, 2019, and 2020 offers, plus some tidbits.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a 2020 recruiting update, but I’ll combine it with a few bits from the last week on the 2018 class.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2020

Brooklyn (NY) Poly running back Lamy Constant (formerly Lamy Montini) was offered by Michigan, his first. He’s a 6’0″, 188 lb. prospect with one other offer from Boston College. He attends the same school as Georgia-bound offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson.

Hit the jump for several more 2020 offers.
