DECOMMITMENT

Kalil Branham – WR – Columbus (OH) Northland: Branham decommitted from Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2020

Marcellus Moore – RB – Plainfield (IL) North: Moore is a 5’8″, 165 lb. prospect with offers from Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, and Ole Miss, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #54 running back, and #723 overall. He claims a 4.29 forty, a 34″ vertical, and a 10.31 in the 100 meters. Please watch his highlight video and think about Josh Gattis’s #speedinspace mantra:

Sawyer Racanelli – LB – Brush Prairie (WA) Hockinson: Racanelli is a 6’3″, 200-pounder with offers from Cal, Oregon State, and UCLA. Shortly after he got offered by Michigan, the Washington Huskies jumped in with an offer, which immediately turned into a crystal ball pick coming in for the Huskies. He’s a 3-star, the #27 athlete, and #348 overall. I imagine he’ll probably end up in Seattle, but he’s an intriguing WR/LB/S combo.

Hit the jump for many more bits and pieces.

Visitors: January 25-27, 2019

2020

Bryce Austin – DT – Southfield (MI) Southfield: Austin is a 6’2″, 260-pounder with offers from Michigan State, Missouri, and Pitt, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #22 defensive tackle, and #315 overall.

Michael Carmody – OT – Mars (PA) Mars Area: Carmody is a 6’5″, 285 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Penn State, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #25 offensive tackle, and #196 overall. All five crystal ball picks so far are for Penn State.

Cal Haladay – LB – Catawissa (PA) Southern Columbia: Haladay is a 6’0″, 197 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan and UMass.

A.J. Henning – WR – Frankfort (IL) Lincoln-Way East: Henning is a 5’10”, 175 lb. prospect with offers from LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #8 wide receiver, and #51 overall, and 247 Sports has him at #25 overall, which is 5-star territory. His crystal ball is 83% for Notre Dame and 17% for OSU, but Henning recently named Michigan to his top 10.

Jakob James – OT – Cincinnati (OH) Elder: James is a 6’5″, 275 lb. prospect with offers from Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, and others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #68 offensive tackle, and #625 overall. UPDATE: James committed to Ohio State earlier this week, so I would not expect him to show up for his planned visit to Ann Arbor.

Theo Johnson – TE – Windsor (Ontario) Holy Names: Johnson is a 6’5″, 235-pounder with offers from Boston College, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Penn State, and others. He’s a 3-star, the #11 tight end, and #452 overall. Both crystal ball picks for him so far are for Penn State.

Hit the jump for more.
