Seattle (WA) Rainier Beach offensive tackle Nathaniel Kalepo, a Washington commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’6″, 300-pounder who has been committed to the Huskies since August of 2017; he also has offers from Oregon, UCLA, and USC. He’s a 3-star, the #40 offensive tackle, and #395 overall.

Miami (FL) South Dade wide receiver Frank Ladson, Jr. was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’4″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from almost every big-time program, including the three in-state powers. He’s a 5-star, the #3 wide receiver, and #15 overall. Eight of the nine Crystal Ball picks have him going to Clemson.

2019

Karsen Barnhart – OT – Paw Paw (MI) Paw Paw: Barnhart is a 6’4″, 282 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona State, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, and Nebraska, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #46 offensive tackle, and #427 overall. Right now all six Crystal Ball predictions are in favor of the Spartans.

Michael Fletcher – DE – Flint (MI) Carman-Ainsworth: Fletcher is a 6’6″, 240-pounder. He has offers from Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #28 strongside end, and #352 overall. Right now his Crystal Ball situation is 57% for Michigan State, 43% for Michigan.

Rod Heard – CB – Farmington Hills (MI) Harrison: Heard is 5’10”, 170 lbs. and committed to Northwestern last week. He’s a 3-star, the #89 cornerback, #918 overall, and #24 in the state. It’s unclear if he still plans to visit after his recent commitment.

Marcus Hicks – DE – Wichita (KS) Northwest: Hicks is a 6’5″, 236 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #15 weakside end, and #255 overall. He actually visited March 18 into March 19, but he was supposed to visit later in the week, which is why I put him on this list. As a junior in 2017, he put up 63 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks. Right now 100% of the Crystal Ball picks are for Oklahoma.

Hit the jump for several more visitors.

If you’re looking for updates on Michigan’s defensive recruiting in the 2019 class, check out last week’s post here (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2019

Tampa (FL) Catholic wide receiver Ahmarean Brown was offered by Michigan. He’s a 3-star, the #68 wide receiver, and #519 overall. He has offers from Alabama, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia, among others.

Buford (GA) Buford offensive tackle Carter Colquitt was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’6″, 295 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, and Oregon, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #72 offensive tackle, and #738 overall. Colquitt is the teammate of 2018 Michigan running back signee Christian Turner.

Hollywood (FL) Chaminade-Madonna wide receiver John Dunmore decommitted from Florida. He’s a 6’2″, 172 lb. prospect with other offers from Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Oregon, among others. He decommitted from the Gators just a few days after receiving the offer from Michigan, and he seems very interested in the Wolverines. He’s a 4-star, the #28 wide receiver, and #151 overall.

Hit the jump for a bunch more offers.
