Most FBS players signed with their teams in December, but a few guys didn’t sign for some reason or another. Here’s a look at some of the remaining players and what’s expected to happen in some cases.
Rayshaun Benny – DT – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park: Benny has been committed to Michigan State but didn’t sign during the early signing period for some unstated reason. He’s a 4-star, the #16 defensive tackle, and #192 overall. All signs have pointed to him signing with MSU . . . except for the fact that he didn’t sign with MSU. Michigan is still trying to get him to flip and he’s been listening to the coaches, so who knows?

Here’s a look at the current recruiting situation, with a special bonus update on the 2021 class.
Ike Iwunnah – DT – Garland (TX) Lakeview Centennial: Iwunnah is a 6’4″, 285 lb. prospect who committed to Colorado last week. He did not sign during the early signing period, so Michigan could still sway him in the next week or so before he is likely to sign. He’s a 3-star, the #66 DT, and #1187 overall.
Alfonzo Allen – CB – Hallandale (FL) Hallandale: Allen is a 6’1″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, and LSU, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #12 safety, and #170 overall.
Jordan Allen – CB – Lafayette (LA) Christian: Allen is a 5’11”, 182-pounder with offers from Arkansas, Miami, and Mississippi State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #54 cornerback, and #550 overall.
