Recruiting Update: November 11, 2015

Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer LB Antjuan Simmons

COMMITMENT
Boulder (CO) Fairview defensive end/outside linebacker Carlo Kemp committed to Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017
Cincinnati (OH) Moeller offensive guard Matthew Dotson was offered by Michigan. Dotson is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #12 tight end, and #354 overall. He claims a 4.82 forty. Dotson is a big body with good body control, but he is not supremely athletic or dynamic after the catch. Ohio State typically gets its pick of the litter from Ohio tight ends (witness Jake Hausmann and Luke Farrell in 2016), but Michigan has a really good chance at finishing second.

Hit the jump for a few more new offers, a commitment elsewhere, and some random bits.
