Downers Grove (IL) South offensive tackle Erik Swenson

247 Sports released its top 247 players for the class of 2016. Normally, I just list the offered players, but since this is so early for a class of 2016 list, I’ll also be listing players with connections to Michigan and/or from the Big Ten imprint that Michigan normally recruits. Offered players are denoted by an asterisk, and the only Michigan offeree not on the list is Georgia offensive lineman E.J. Price.
