Tyler Morris, Wolverine

Head on over to the Blogger version to discuss (LINK).

La Grange Park (IL) Nazareth Academy wide receiver Tyler Morris committed to Michigan last week. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Florida, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others.

Morris is a 6’0″, 165 lb. prospect. He was a teammate of Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy up through the 2019 season (McCarthy transferred to IMG Academy for the 2020 season).

Taylor Groves, Ex-Wolverine

Cross Plains (TN) East Robertson safety Taylor Groves decommitted from Michigan earlier this week. Groves committed to the Wolverines sight unseen shortly after Maurice Linguist was hired to be the cornerbacks coach and co-defensive coordinator.

Michigan has done well recruiting the safety position in recent years, but Groves seemed like perhaps a new direction for the position. He is tall and lanky (listed at 6’2″, 175 lbs.) with cornerback skills. Michigan has generally seemed to reel in shorter, thicker, quasi-outside linebacker types for safety, aside from Daxton Hill.

Groves is the third decommitment in the 2022 class, joining safety Myles Rowser (Arkansas) and defensive tackle Alex VanSumeren (undecided).

COMMITMENTS

Cornerback Will Johnson (LINK) and wide receiver Tay’shawn Trent (LINK) committed to Michigan.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2022

T.J. Dudley – LB – Montgomery (AL) Catholic: Dudley is a 6’2″, 210 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, LSU, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #15 outside linebacker, and #171 overall. Both crystal balls for him right now are for Alabama.

He’s a 4-star, the #22 strongside end, and #352 overall. As a junior in 2020, he made 40 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks. Fun fact: The last time Michigan landed a commitment from a Lake Nona product, it was quarterback Kevin Sousa during the Rich Rodriguez era, who decommitted and ended up at Wake Forest.

Kenneth Grant – DT – Merrillville (IN) Merrillville: Grant is a 6’4″, 335-pounder with offers from Illinois, Nebraska, and Purdue, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star and the #67 defensive tackle. He’s the type of big dude that Michigan has not recruited much of over the past several years, a space-eater.
