OFF THE BOARD

Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman offensive guard Seuseu Alofaituli (4-star, #3 IOL, #70 overall) committed to Miami. He had visited Michigan officially at the beginning of June and was a teammate of incoming freshman running back Micah Ka’apana.

Princeton (NJ) Hun School linebacker Kamar Archie (4-star, #32 LB, #286 overall) committed to Rutgers. He had visited Michigan several times and took an official to Ann Arbor in late June. There were rumors long ago that Michigan might be “too big of a stage” for his liking, so perhaps that was an important factor in his decision.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2025

Winston Salem (NC) Mount Tabor safety Jadon Blair (4-star, #14 S, #191 overall) was offered by Michigan. Florida State, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, and Tennessee have all also offered. His father played at East Carolina and then had a cup of coffee in the NFL.

Sugar Land (TX) Fort Bend Christian defensive end Max Granville (4-star, #16 LB, #128 overall) was offered by Michigan. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas, and numerous others have all offered. His dad Billy played at Duke and then with the Bengals and Texans in the NFL.

Stockbridge (GA) Stockbridge linebacker Chase Taylor (3-star, #51 LB, #483 overall) was offered by Michigan. Florida State, Missouri, and Tennesee have all offered, too.

OFF THE BOARD

Wallingford (CT) Choate Rosemary Hall offensive tackle Will Black (4-star, #29 OT, #317 overall) committed to Notre Dame. He was considered a Michigan lean after visiting the Wolverines late in the season, but then the Fighting Irish made a push in the last few weeks before his commitment.

MISCELLANEY

Belleville (MI) Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood (5-star, #1 QB, #1 overall) is set to announce his commitment on January 6. The strong vibe is that he is set to commit to LSU, while Alabama and Michigan are also in the mix. I do not expect Michigan to get good news here, but it’s nice to have Carter Smith (LINK) already in the fold.
