COMMITMENTS

Naples (FL) Naples cornerback/safety Sammy Faustin committed to Michigan (LINK).

Norcross (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian strongside end Chris Hinton, Jr., a 2019 prospect, committed to Michigan.

OFF THE BOARD

Houston (TX) Westfield defensive tackle Keondre Coburn committed to Texas. At 6’1″ and 329 lbs., the #103 overall prospect seems destined to be a fire hydrant of a nose tackle.

Pensacola (FL) Escambia wide receiver Jacob Copeland commmitted to Florida. He’s the #9 wideout and #52 overall.

Hampton (GA) Dutchtown safety Trey Dean committed to Tennessee.

Houston (TX) Dekaney tight end Malcolm Epps committed to Texas. The Longhorns now have two tight end commitments, which should be a signal that Mustapha Muhammad is headed elsewhere (a.k.a. Michigan).

Mission Viejo (CA) Mission Viejo cornerback Olaijah Griffin committed to UCLA. The son of rapper Warren G is the #49 player and #8 cornerback in the class.

Owings Mills (MD) McDonogh defensive tackle P.J. Mustipher committed to Penn State. The #98 overall prospect in 2018 is the younger brother of Notre Dame redshirt junior offensive guard Sam Mustipher.

TRANSFER

Sunny Odogwu – OT – Miami-FL: Odogwu is a 6’8″, 325 lb. tackle who’s leaving the Miami Hurricanes. He will be a fifth year senior in the fall, so he’s eligible to play immediately as a grad transfer. He started 14 games during his career, but he suffered a torn MCL in 2015 and a broken leg in 2016, the latter of which caused him to miss the final eight games of the year. A Nigerian immigrant, he attended Baltimore (MD) St. Frances and Hargrave Military Academy before enrolling at Miami in 2013.

2018

James Ohonba – OG – Stockbridge (GA) Woodland: Ohonba is a 6’5″, 320 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan, and USC, which make up his top four. He’s a 4-star, the #23 offensive tackle, and #306 overall.

2019

Chris Hinton, Jr. – DE – Norcross (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian: Hinton is a 6’4″, 265 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, and USC, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #2 strongside end, and #14 overall. He was originally being looked at as an offensive lineman, but now he wants to play defensive line. He looks like an offensive guard to me and lacks great defensive instincts, but he has a couple years to improve before hitting college. He’s the son of Chris Hinton – hence the name – who played at Northwestern before an NFL career with the Falcons and Colts.

As of Wednesday night, the Crystal Ball is 62% in favor of the Wolverines for Black.

Corey Bolds – DT – Paramus (NJ) Catholic: Bolds is a 6’3″, 276 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, and Rutgers, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #38 defensive tackle, and #462 overall. He’s a teammate of 2017 linebacker Drew Singleton (see below).

Ja’Raymond Hall – OT – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park: Hall is committed to Michigan (LINK).

Egg Harbor City (NJ) Cedar Creek RB Bo Melton

COMMITMENT
Rancho Santa Margarita (CA) Catholic wide receiver Dylan Crawford committed to Michigan at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
Paintsville (KY) Paintsville linebacker Kash Daniel, a Kentucky commit, was offered by Michigan. Daniel is a 6’1″, 227 lb. prospect who’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #14 inside linebacker, and #400 overall. Daniel played in the Army All-American Bowl. He committed to Kentucky on this past Fourth of July, and as an early enrollee, he said he’s solid with the Wildcats.

Sachse (TX) Sachse cornerback Jared Mayden decommitted from Oregon. Mayden is a 6’1″, 190 lb. prospect who is heavily considering Florida State and LSU at this point. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #10 cornerback, and #128 overall. Mayden committed to Oregon in July and took an official visit to Michigan in September, but it does not appear the Wolverines are an option at this point. He played in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl last week.
