ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2021

Marcus Bradley – DT – Gaithersburg (MD) Quince Orchard: Bradley is a 6’3″, 270 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Maryland, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #10 defensive tackle, and #173 overall. I think I heard something about how Michigan needs defensive tackles…

Duce Chestnut – CB – Camden (NJ) Camden: Chestnut is a 5’11”, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Maryland, Miami, and Rutgers. He’s a 4-star, the #17 cornerback, and #216 overall. He comes from the same program that Cesar Ruiz and Brad Hawkins attended, although both of them transferred elsewhere prior to finishing their high school careers.

Alijah Clark – CB – Camden (NJ) Camden: Clark is a 6’2″, 180-pounder with offers from Maryland and Rutgers. He’s a 3-star, the #35 cornerback, and #478 overall. It must be pretty nice to have two corners who are good enough for such big-time offers.

Nyland Green – CB – Covington (GA) Newton: Green is a 6’1″, 174 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Clemson, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #18 corner, and #225 overall. He attends the alma mater of former Michigan running back Kurt Taylor.

John Howse IV – S – Brentwood (TN) Brentwood: Howse visited Michigan for the BBQ at the Big House this past summer. He’s a 6’2″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Kentucky, Louisville, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #89 athlete, and #893 overall. He’s a very physical player who plays corner but I think he projects to safety at the next level.

Jabari Ishmael – DE – Miami (FL) Columbus: Ishmael is a 6’5″, 210-pounder with offers from Florida and Miami, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #6 weakside end, and #118 overall. He goes to the same school that Michigan linebacker Joshua Uche attended.

Dontavius Nash – S – Gastonia (NC) Hunter Huss: Nash is a 6’2″, 170 lb. prospect who committed to UNC in June 2019, but he has a lot better offers, such as Auburn, Georgia, and Penn State. He’s a 4-star, the #8 safety, and #250 overall.

Andre Turrentine – CB – Nashville (TN) Ensworth: Turrentine is a 6’0″, 175-pounder with offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #15 cornerback, and #194 overall.
