Nick Elksnis – TE – Jacksonville (FL) Episcopal: Elksnis is a 6’5″, 220 lb. prospect who decommitted from Penn State. He’s a 3-star, the #15 tight end, and #379 overall. He’s now expected to commit to Florida, though.
Logan Fano – LB – Provo (UT) Timpview: Fano is a 6’4″, 220 lb. linebacker who decommitted from BYU. He’s a 3-star, the #32 outside linebacker, and #413 overall. Washington could very well be in the driver’s seat right now.
Hit the jump for some updates on 2022 and 2023 kids, too.
Raheem Anderson II – C – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Anderson is a 6’3″, 298 lb. prospect with offers from Kentucky, LSU, and Michigan, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #3 center, and #211 overall. It has been a few classes since Michigan signed a Cass Tech player (2017, to be exact) for whatever reason, but Michigan has 60% of the crystal ball picks.
Josh Bryant – RB – Middletown (OH) Middletown: Bryant is a 5’10”, 192-pounder with offers from Akron, Ball State, and Miami-OH. He’s a 247 Sports 2-star, the #124 running back, and #1559 overall.
Pat Coogan – OT – Chicago (IL) Marist: Coogan is a 6’5″, 275 lb. prospect with offers from Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, and Stanford, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #43 offensive tackle, and #453 overall.
Jay Toia – DT – Simi Valley (CA) Grace Brethren: Toia is a 6’1″, 300 lb. prospect who committed to USC in June of 2018. He also has offers from Cal and Oregon, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #12 defensive tackle, and #192 overall.

SITE NEWS UPDATE: Thanks to Brian, Michael D., Michael Z., Moser, Oday, and Sean for your generous donations! As of Tuesday afternoon, I have collected $526.02 of the $1,250 bill for Flywheel’s hosting services for the year (LINK).
The Detroit News talked to 2020 recruits about a few things, including why they didn’t choose Michigan/Michigan State (LINK). It’s always interesting reading these responses.
Markus Allen – WR – Clayton (OH) Northmont: Allen is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati and Pitt, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #125 wide receiver, and #796 overall. He claims a 4.62 forty. Northmont is the alma mater of Michigan defensive end Gabe Newburg, but Allen recently transferred to Northmont, so the two players don’t know each other.
Khalil Dinkins – WR – Wexford (PA) North Allegheny: Dinkins is a 6’4″, 207-pounder with offers from a couple MAC schools. He’s a 3-star, the #74 athlete, and #829 overall. He has some solid ball skills, but I think with his size and the way he moves, he will probably end up as an H-back or outside linebacker. He reminds me of former Wolverine Ricardo Miller.
With signing day for 2020 and a bunch of new offers in 2021, there hasn’t been much room for 2022 updates in a while. So here’s a start on catching up:
Bear Alexander – DT – Dallas (TX) Skyline: Alexander is a 6’4″, 333 lb. prospect with offers from Baylor, Florida, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #6 defensive tackle, and #96 overall. According to 247, he had to play JV as a sophomore due to transferring after his freshman year, so 2020 will be his first time playing varsity competition.
Fisher Anderson – OT – Franklin (TN) Franklin: Anderson is a 6’6″, 257-pounder with offers from Georgia and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #8 offensive tackle, and #91 overall.
