—————
The Exposure U camp (for most positions) is from June 14-17th, and the Aerial Assault camp (for quarterbacks) is on June 20th (LINK). Aerial Assault participants are denoted with an asterisk.

2016
*Jacob Baldwin – QB – Wateford (MI) Mott: Baldwin is a 6’2″, 195 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He will be throwing to Desmond Fitzpatrick this fall after Fitzpatrick transferred from Farmington.

*Wade Buckman – QB – Holland (MI) Holland: Buckman is a 6’6″, 205 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Jacob Cerny – OG – Traverse City (MI) West:

*Reagan Cotton – QB – Traverse City (MI) Central:

Bailey Edwards – WR – Chelsea (MI) Chelsea: Edwards is a 6’1″, 177 lb. prospect with offers from Minnesota and a handful of MAC programs. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #183 wide receiver, and #1234 overall. He’s the younger brother of former Wolverine wide receiver Braylon Edwards, as well as Minnesota running back Berkley Edwards.

Trenton Fincher – OT – East Kentwood (MI) East Kentwood: Fincher is a 6’6″, 280 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Ezra Gray – WR – Lynn Haven (FL) Mosley: Gray is a 5’9″, 175 lb. prospect with no FBS offers at this time. He claims a 4.31 forty.

Dele’ Harding – LB – Elkton (MD) Eastern Christian Academy: Harding committed to Michigan in October 2014 (LINK). He’s current a 247 Composite 3-star, the #21 inside linebacker, and #568 overall.

*Joshua Jackson – QB – Saline (MI) Saline: Jackson, the son of former Michigan running backs coach Fred Jackson and the brother of former wide receiver Jeremy, committed to Virginia Tech in early June (LINK).

Trishton Jackson – QB/WR – West Bloomfield (MI) West Bloomfield: Jackson, coached by former Wolverine Ronald Bellamy, has earned a bunch of MAC offers and Big Ten teams are starting to ramp up their interest (Iowa and Michigan State have offered).

Daniel Joseph – DE – Lake Forest (IL) Lake Forest: Joseph is a 6’3″, 240 lb. prospect with offers from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #15 strongside end, and #262 overall. Michigan State’s 247 writer Sean Scherer has him headed to the Wolverines, while a Vandy writer pegs him for the Spartans; however, Michigan State has picked up several defensive line commits in the past week or two, so they’re running low on spots.

Jalen Martin – WR – Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park:

Sean McKeon – TE – Dudley (MA) Shepherd Hill: McKeon committed to Michigan on Monday (LINK).

Jai Nunn-Liddell – WR – Mableton (GA) Pebblebrook: Nunn-Liddell is a 6’3″, 185 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

*Brandon Peters – QB – Avon (IN) Avon: Peters committed to Michigan in April (LINK).

Jalen Phelps – S – Powder Springs (GA) Hillgrove: Phelps is a 5’10”, 175 lb. prospect with an offer from Kent State.

David Reese – LB – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Reese committed to Michigan in April (LINK).

Nathan Skene – TE – Hartland (MI) Hartland: Skene is the son of former Michigan lineman Doug Skene.

Devin Taylor – CB – Lansing (MI) Sexton: Taylor is a 6’1″, 175 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He claims a 4.5 forty.

Eyioma Uwazurike – DE – Southfield (MI) Lathrup: Uwazurike is a 6’6″, 254 lb. prospect with offers from seven MAC programs. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #59 strongside end, and #1139 overall. As a junior in 2014, he made 74 tackles, 14 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles.

Andrew Vastardis – OG – Ashburn (VA) Stone Bridge:

*Kurt Walding – QB – West Des Moines (IA) Dowling Catholic: Walding is a 6’1″, 206 lb. prospect with no offers right now. He attends the alma mater of redshirt junior wide receiver Amara Darboh.

Devin Waldon – LB – Detroit (MI) East English Village:

Kendrew Wynn – S – Norcross (GA) Norcross: Wynn is a 6’1″, 185 lb. prospect with no offers right now.

Hit the jump for a bunch of 2017, 2018, and 2019 prospects.

2017
*Jake Allen – QB – Fort Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas: Allen is a 6’3″, 197 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Florida, Iowa, Miami, Pitt, and Rutgers, among others. He’s a high school teammate of several Michigan targets, including 2017 wide receiver Trevon Grimes and a couple 2018 cornerbacks. St. Thomas Aquinas is also the alma mater of Michigan quarterbacks Jake Rudock and John O’Korn. Allen is likely to end up as a Gator.


Jafar Armstrong – WR – Mission (KS) Bishop Miege: Armstrong is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Johnathan Berghorst – DE – Zeeland (MI) East: Berghorst is a 6’3″, 245 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He has visited Michigan many times. Some expect him to grow into a defensive tackle.

*Austin Burton – QB – Newton Center (MA) Newton South: Burton is a 6’3″, 190 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Keegan Cossou – TE – Greenville (MI) Greenville: Cossou is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect with a lone offer from Central Michigan. As a sophomore in 2014, he caught 15 passes for 342 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Conor Doyle – OT – Philadelphia (PA) St. Joseph’s:

Carter Dunaway – TE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice:

Blake Gallagher – LB – Needham (MA) St. Sebastian’s:


Ja’Raymond Hall – OT – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park: Hall is a 6’5″, 255 lb. prospect with offers from Miami-OH and Michigan. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #13 offensive tackle, and #82 overall. He has visited Michigan several times, and at this time, he is considered a Michigan lean.


K.J. Hamler – WR – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Hamler is a 5’9″, 155 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, and others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #45 wide receiver, and #283 overall. He has visited Michigan multiple times but is considered a Michigan State lean.

Kasim Hill – QB – Baltimore (MD) Gilman: Hill is a 6’2″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, Syracuse, and Virginia, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #10 pro-style quarterback, and #265 overall. He plays for the father of Michigan tight end/defensive end Henry Poggi. He is also a teammate of 2016 offensive linemen Stephen Spanellis and Devery Hamilton, both of whom have Michigan offers.

Derrick Hubbard – LB – Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer: Hubbard is a 6’2″, 202 lb. prospect who just picked up his first scholarship offer from Toledo. He claims a 4.67 forty.

Hunter Johnson – QB – Brownsburg (IN) Brownsburg: Johnson is a 6’3″, 197 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #1 pro-style quarterback, and #9 overall. He transferred away from Avon (IN) Avon, the home of Brandon Peters, and is now a teammate of 2016 running back Toks Abinrade, who holds a Michigan offer. Johnson is considered to be a Notre Dame lean.

Chris Kolarevic – LB – Traverse City (MI) St. Francis:

Solon Page III – LB – Marietta (GA) Kell: Page is a 6’3″, 195 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. As a sophomore in 2014, he made 71 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks.

Jaylen Kelly-Powell – S – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Kelly-Powell is a 6’0″, 183 lb. prospect with offers from Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #13 safety, and #189 overall. A teammate of 2016 offensive guard commit Michael Onwenu, Kelly-Powell’s Crystal Ball is 100% in favor of Michigan.

Carter Lynch – OT – Philadelphia (PA) St. Joseph’s:

*Tyler Lytle – QB – Anaheim (CA) Servite: Lytle is a 6’4″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Colorado State and Miami. He was teammates with 2017 wide receiver Osiris St. Brown, who holds a Michigan offer, and 2018 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, although the St. Brown brothers are transferring.

Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph:

Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones is a 6’2″, 192 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #2 wide receiver, and #12 overall. I believe I mistakenly identified him as the son of a former Michigan player in the past, which I had read in an article some months back, so I apologize for the misidentification. Peoples-Jones recently ran a 4.45 forty and showed off a 38″ vertical. His recruitment is considered to be wide open.

Trey Pratt – CB – Suwanee (GA) Peachtree Ridge:

Antjuan Simmons – RB – Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer: Simmons is a 6’1″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Akron, Eastern Michigan, Miami-OH, and Western Michigan. He claims a 4.55 forty. He probably lacks the speed to be an elite running back, but he’s an excitable player and a heavy hitter who could be a strong safety or outside linebacker at the next level.

Allen Stritzinger – RB – Warren (MI) De La Salle: Stritzinger is a 6’0″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Michigan, and a few MAC schools. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #25 running back, and #303 overall. As a sophomore in 2014, he ran for 1,356 yards and 20 touchdowns. He recently named Michigan his leader.

David Terrell, Jr. – WR – Wilmette (IL) Loyola: Terrell is a 5’11”, 165 lb. prospect with no offers right now. He is the son of former Michigan and Chicago Bears wide receiver David Terrell.

*Cameron Thomas – QB – Chicago Heights (IL) Marian Catholic:

C.J. Turner – CB – Rochester (NY) Eastridge:

Edward Verdree – DE – Atlanta (GA) Holy Innocents Episcopal: Verdree is a 6’1″, 240 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He claims a 4.91 forty, a 315 lb. bench press, and a 435 lb. squat.

Jamyest Williams – CB – Lawrenceville (GA) Archer: Williams is a 5’9″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #14 cornerback, and #111 overall. As a sophomore in 2014, he made 60 tackles and 2 interceptions, along with 1,152 total yards and 13 touchdowns on offense. He appears to have sincere interest in Michigan, although it will be difficult to pull him out of the south. Michigan also has offers out to Archer prospects E.J. Price, a 2016 offensive tackle committed to Georgia, and 2017 safety Isaiah Pryor.

Justice Williams – DE – Belleville (MI) Belleville:


2018
Blake Bacevich – LB – Cincinnati (OH) St. Xavier: Bacevich is a 6’3″, 215 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. St. Xavier is a pretty steady producer of talent, so he’ll be one to watch in the future.

Leddie Brown – RB – Elkton (MD) Eastern Christian Academy: Brown is a 6’1″, 190 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He will be a teammate of Michigan commit Dele’ Harding this fall. At least one source had Brown as the #1 prospect in his class, although those things are very fluid this early.

Emil Ekiyor – OG – Indianapolis (IN) Cathedral: Ekiyor is a 6’3″, 285 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan and South Florida. He is the son of a former South Florida Bull and Atlanta Falcon. He also attended Michigan’s satellite camp in Indiana.

*Kaden Frost – QB – Naples (FL) Gulf Coast:

Isaiah Gaynor – CB – Elkton (MD) Eastern Christian Academy: Gaynor is a 5’9″, 175 lb. prospect who holds no offers. He is another upcoming teammate of Dele’ Harding.

Nick Henkel – QB – Greenwich (CT) Brunswick: Henkel is a 6’1″, 161 lb. prospct with no offers right now. As an eighth grader, he completed 71/103 passes for 1,011 yards and 14 touchdowns.

*Brandon Leach – QB – Pinckney (MI) Pinckney: Leach is a 6’8″, 220 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

*Michael Lynn III – QB – Lansing (MI) Sexton:

Phillip Pfaffman – CB – Fayetteville (GA) Whitewater: Pfaffman is a 5’9″, 160 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Tyrone Sampson, Jr. – C – Detroit (MI) East English Village: Sampson’s Hudl page lists him at 6’4″, 304 lbs. but I have heard that he is not close to being that height. Regardless, he has been earning some buzz as one of the top in-state linemen in this 2018 class.

2019
Dale Chesson – WR – Olivette (MO): Chesson is the younger brother of Michigan redshirt junior wide receiver Jehu Chesson. The younger Chesson is entering high school and I’m not sure where he will play, but Jehu went to St. Louis (MO) Ladue Horton Watkins.

Christian Ford – WR – Lima (OH) Shawnee:

*Sam Johnson III – QB – Southfield (MI) Southfield: Johnson is a 6’3″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Akron and Ohio. He is said to be the youngest player in Michigan history to be offered a full scholarship to an FBS program. A rising freshman, Johnson will likely be Southfield’s starter quarterback this fall.

*Dwan Mathis – QB – Belleville (MI) Belleville: Mathis is a 6’3″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Akron and Cincinnati.

Jacardia Wright – RB – Decatur (IL) St. Theresa’s:

Visitors: June 12-14, 2015 and Sound Mind Sound Body Camp

Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan linebacker Devin Bush, Jr. (image via 247Sports.com)

The way information trickles out, it’s unclear at this point exactly which players will be visiting campus, going only to the Sound Mind Sound Body camp, or doing both. So there may be some overlap here, but I will try to keep track the best I can.

EDIT: I’ll be honest – keeping track of all the SMSB visitors is a fool’s errand. There are hundreds of players coming from all over the country. I’m doing my best to narrow it down to the elite players from across the country, and some of the more notable guys within the state. Obviously, since it’s taking place in Michigan, there are too many non-FBS-level locals to list here.

CAMPUS VISITORS
Harry Ballard III – WR – Florissant (MO) Mccluer North: Ballard is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect with an offer from Illinois. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #83 wide receiver, and #523 overall.

Devin Bush, Jr. – LB – Pembroke Pine (FL) Flanagan: Bush is a 6’0″, 220 lb. prospect who’s the son of former Florida State (and Dallas Cowboys) safety Devin Bush. The elder Bush is currently the head coach at Flanagan and hosted Michigan’s Summer Swarm camp just outside of Miami, FL. The younger Bush is a 247 Composite 4-star, the #9 inside linebacker, and #221 overall. While Florida State remains the overwhelming favorite (100% of the Crystal Ball predictions on 247 Sports), word is that Michigan has a fighting chance.


Chase Claypool – WR – Abbotsford (BC) Abbotsford: Claypool is a 6’5″, 205 lb. prospect out of British Columbia. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #145 wide receiver, and #940 overall. Oregon seemed like the early favorite, and Notre Dame’s offer also piqued Claypool’s interest. A visit to Michigan shows a fair amount of interest, and Michigan does have some history of developing Canadian players, such as former defensive tackle Renaldo Sagesse. Claypool will be in town on June 11, right before the weekend begins.

Alphonso Cornish, Jr. – OT – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall: Cornish has no significant recruiting profile, but the guy is listed at 6’6″, 400 lbs. Wow.

Micah Croom – S – La Mirada (CA) La Mirada: Croom is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect who committed to Utah in November 2014; he also has offers from Colorado, Illinois, and Indiana, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #45 safety, and #662 overall. It’s unclear at this point when exactly Croom plans to be in Ann Arbor, but his midwest tour starts on June 10th and he plans to visit Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Michigan State.

Hit the jump for several more names.

Brennon Dingle – WR – Baltimore (MD) Archbishop Spalding:

Tyshon Fogg – LB – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall:


Devin Gil – S – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan: A teammate of Bush’s, Gil is a 6’1″, 205 lb. prospect who committed to Miami in January; he also has offers from Louisville, Michigan, and several other programs. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #63 safety, and #931 overall. There has been talk that Bush and Gil will end up as a package deal, although Bush appears not to have much interest in Miami, and Florida State does not have much interest in Gil. If the two do pull off the package deal, Michigan could be a compromise option since the Wolverines have offered both prospects.

Nijuel Hill – CB – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall:

Jonathan Jones – LB – Orlando (FL) Oak Ridge: Jones is a 6’1″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #27 outside linebacker, and #396 overall. Soon after Michigan offered, he named Michigan his leader. At this point all twelve of the Crystal Ball predictions have him going to Michigan. There has been a lot of speculation that he will commit on the trip to Ann Arbor, which will be on June 17. He will be at Nike’s The Opening in July.

Joshua Kaindoh – DE – Essex (MD) Our Lady of Mt. Carmel: Kaindoh is a 6’6″, 235 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #2 weakside end, and #54 overall. I would expect Michigan to get involved, but right now he looks like a Penn State lean.


Xavier Kelly – DE – Wichita (KS) East: Kelly is a 6’5″, 255 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, and numerous others. He was previously committed to Kansas State. Kelly is a 247 Composite 4-star, the #8 weakside end, and #125 overall. It’s unclear where Kelly is leaning because his recruitment has exploded over the past couple months. Michigan is recruiting him as a Buck linebacker, which is a hybrid defensive end/linebacker. He has committed to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. (Check out some of his basketball highlights HERE).


Sean McKeon – TE – Dudley (MA) Shepherd Hill: McKeon is a 6’5″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Boston College, UConn, and UMass, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #64 tight end, and #1527 overall. When Michigan offered recently, McKeon almost immediately set up a visit to Ann Arbor. At this juncture, Michigan is clearly his best offer.

Josh Metellus – S – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan: Metellus is a 6’0″, 187 lb. prospect who picked up an offer from the Wolverines after this weekend’s satellite camp; he’s currently committed to Georgia Southern. He’s a 247 Composite 2-star, the #134 safety, and #1915 overall. Metellus is a teammate of Bush and Gil.

Trayvon Mullen – CB – Pompano Beach (FL) Coconut Creek: Mullen is a 6’2″, 197 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, and numerous others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 cornerback, and #40 overall. He and some of his teammates will be visiting Michigan and several other schools on a midwest swing, although Mullen does not have much interest in playing for the Wolverines.


Jahcour Pearson – WR – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan: Pearson is a 5’8″, 170 lb. prospect who is committed to Northern Illinois; he also has offers from Cincinnati, Miami-OH, and Toledo, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #230 wide receiver, and #1602 overall. A teammate of Bush and Gil, Pearson’s planned visit was tentative and has not been recently confirmed. I encourage you to watch his highlights, because while he lacks great breakaway speed, his balance and elusiveness as a slot receiver are pretty enticing.

Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones, a 2017 prospect, is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Stanford, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #3 wide receiver, and #12 overall. He has visits to Florida and USC scheduled for later this month. He and his parents will all be visiting Michigan together for the first time. He participated in the Rivals 5-star Challenge last weekend and earned an invitation to Nike’s The Opening, which will take place in July. He posted a 4.45 forty and a 38″ vertical in testing.

Patrice Rene – CB – Alexandria (VA) Episcopal: Rene is a 6’1″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #33 cornerback, and #343 overall. He is a transfer from Canada and has strong interest in Michigan, despite a lack of an offer. Unfortunately, most of the coaching staff will be out of town during Rene’s visit, but he will still get a tour of campus and be able to meet the coaches who are not on the Summer Swarm tour.

Cordarrian Richardson – RB – Memphis (TN) Trezevant: Richardson, a 2017 prospect, is a 5’10”, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #21 running back, and #266 overall. Prior to the SMSB camp, he visited Michigan on Wednesday and picked up an offer. He did not play football until his sophomore year of high school.

Morgan Scroggins – WR – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall:

Steven Smothers – WR – Reisterstown (MD) Franklin: Smothers is a 5’10”, 152 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #16 wide receiver, and #111 overall. He was offered by Michigan a while ago, but this will be his first time visiting campus.

Amon-Ra St. Brown – WR – Anaheim (CA) Servite: St. Brown, a 2018 prospect, is a 5’10”, 160 lb. receiver with offers from Utah and Washington State. (See below for a little bit more info.)

Osiris St. Brown – WR – Anaheim (CA) Servite: St. Brown is a 6’1″, 178 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, and others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #7 wide receiver, and #27 overall. His brother Equanimeous will be a freshman at Notre Dame in the fall. News came out recently that Osiris and his younger brother, Amon-Ra, will be transferring from Servite, although I have not heard a definitive destination.

Jonathan Sutherland – CB – Alexandria (VA) Episcopal: Sutherland, a 2017 prospect, is a 6’0″, 190 lb. player with offers from Miami, Nebraska, Rutgers, Virginia, and Wisconsin, among others. Another Canadian transfer, Sutherland is currently leaning toward the Scarlet Knights.

Naseir Upshur – TE – Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep: I wrote up a scouting report on Upshur back in April (LINK). He will be in town for the SMSB camp and plans to swing through campus again while he’s in the area. He is one of Michigan’s top targets at tight end and strongly considering the Wolverines.

Johncarlo Valentin – OG – Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep: Valentin is a 6’5″, 290 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona State, Auburn, Michigan, Pitt, and Rutgers, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #14 offensive guard, and #360 overall. He is a teammate of Upshur’s.

Donte Vaughn – CB – Memphis (TN) Whitehaven: Vaughn is a 6’3″, 192 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #27 cornerback, and #302 overall. There’s a good chance that he will end up as a safety at the next level. He attends the alma mater of 2015 linebacker Josh McMillon (Alabama), who was very close to committing to Michigan at one point.

Binjimen Victor – WR – Pompano Beach (FL) Coconut Creek: Victor is a 6’4″, 172 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Michigan, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #11 wide receiver, and #80 overall, plus a U.S. Army All-American.

Luiji Vilian – DE – Alexandria (VA) Episcopal: Vilian, another 2017 prospect from Canada, is a 6’3″, 250 lb. end with offers from Minnesota, Penn State, Rutgers, and Syracuse. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #4 weakside end, and #83 overall. The highest regarded of the Canadian trio – who all transferred to Episcopal at the same time – Vilian is also thought to be leaning toward Rutgers. The three of them want to pay together in college, although they’re not necessarily a package deal.

Jamyest Williams – CB – Lawrenceville (GA) Archer:

Malek Young – CB – Pompano Beach (FL) Coconut Creek: Young is a 5’10”, 175 lb. prospect who is committed to Georgia; he also held an offer from Michigan, at least from Brady Hoke’s staff. Young is a 247 Composite 3-star, the #43 cornerback, and #470 overall. He’s a teammate of Mullen and Victor’s.

*Offered by Michigan

Visitors: June 2, 2015

Detroit (MI) Cass Tech wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones

This event is a meet-and-greet for in-state 2017 prospects. It will take place at 3:30 p.m.

Carter Dunaway – TE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Dunaway committed to Michigan in April (LINK).


Ja’Raymond Hall – OT – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park: Hall is a 6’5″, 255 lb. prospect with offers from Miami-OH and Michigan. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #13 offensive tackle, and #82 overall. He is thought to be leaning toward the Wolverines.


K.J. Hamler – WR – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Hamler is a 5’9″, 155 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, and several others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #45 wide receiver, and #279 overall. While he has the size to also play cornerback, he wants to play offense, although he would have to be a slot guy and maybe a kickoff returner. He is considered to be a Michigan State lean.

Hit the jump for a few more visitors.



Jaylen Kelly-Powell – S – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Kelly-Powell is a 6’0″, 183 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Pitt, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #13 safety, and #187 overall. He claims a 4.49 forty. Named after former Michigan basketball player Jalen Rose, Kelly-Powell is considered a Michigan lean.


Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph’s (MI) St. Joseph’s: Malone-Hatcher, the #193 overall player in the class, visited this past weekend because he can’t make it to campus on June 2.


Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones is a 6’2″, 183 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #3 wide receiver, and #12 overall. He is pretty quite on the recruiting scene despite picking up numerous big-time offers, but he does have a family connection to Michigan, since his father played for the Wolverines in the 1990s.


Joshua Ross – LB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Ross is a 6’1″, 210 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #3 inside linebacker, and #116 overall. A teammate of Hamler (see above), Ross is the younger brother of Michigan senior linebacker James Ross III; because of that reason, he is thought to be a Michigan lean.


Allen Stritzinger – RB – Warren (MI) De La Salle: Stritzinger is a 6’0″, 183 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Michigan, and a few MAC programs. As a sophomore in 2014, he ran the ball 244 times for 1,356 yards and 20 touchdowns, and he added 9 receptions for 238 yards and 1 touchdown. He attends the alma mater of junior quarterback Shane Morris and redshirt freshman Jared Wangler.

Ambry Thomas – CB – Detroit (MI) King: Thomas is a 5’11”, 165 lb. prospect with offers from LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #11 cornerback, and #150 overall. He was considered to be a slight Michigan State lean, but several new programs have thrown their hats in the ring recently and he may be openly considering his options.
