Visitors: Michigan vs. Michigan State

Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy tight end Isaac Nauta is one of many elite players scheduled to be in town.

I have shortened down some of the writeups this week for the sheer number of prospects visiting. It’s a huge recruiting opportunity for Michigan.

2016
Korey Banks – WR – Tyrone (GA) Sandy Creek: Banks committed to North Carolina in July after being offered by the Wolverines. He unofficially visited in the spring and reportedly had a great visit, but the Tarheels pulled him in, anyway. Michigan was initially recruiting him as a wide receiver, although he could also play cornerback.

Donnie Corley – WR – Detroit (MI) King: Corley said he will probably make it. He is strongly considering both Michigan and Michigan State, so it would make sense for him to check out the game.

Dylan Crawford – WR – Rancho Santa Margarita (CA) Catholic: This is Crawford’s official visit.

Hit the jump for lots and lots more visitors.

Visitors: Michigan vs. Northwestern

Tampa (FL) Berkeley Prep tight end Jacob Mathis

2016
Quayshon Alexander – DE – Wayne (NJ) De Paul: Alexander is a 6’3″, 230 lb. prospect who committed to Nebraska in June; he also has offers from Arizona State, Iowa, Miami, Michigan, Rutgers, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #31 weakside end, and #447 overall. He is a teammate of running back Kareem Walker (Ohio State) and offensive guard Thiyo Lukusa (Michigan State), the latter of whom transferred there this year after playing at Traverse City (MI) West. This is an official visit.

Devin Bush, Jr. – LB – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan:

Brad Hawkins, Jr. – WR – Camden (NJ) Camden: Hawkins committed to Michigan this summer. You can check up on how his senior season is going here (LINK). This is an unofficial visit.

Lavert Hill – CB – Detroit (MI) King:

Ron Johnson, Jr. – DE – Camden (NJ) Camden: Johnson committed to Michigan over the summer. You can check up on his senior season here (LINK).

Jacob Mathis – TE – Tampa (FL) Berkeley Prep: Mathis is a 6’3″, 223 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Miami, Michigan, and Ole Miss, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #9 tight end, and #276 overall. With Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep’s Naseir Upshur committing to Florida State and Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy’s Isaac Nauta looking like a Georgia lean, Mathis is emerging as perhaps Michigan’s top target at the tight end position. Florida appears to be the biggest contender for his services. This is his official visit.

Hit the jump for several more 2016 and 2017 visitors.
