2020 Recruiting Update: February 21, 2019
Sammy Anderson – CB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: Anderson is a 6’2″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Duke, Indiana, Pitt, and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #59 cornerback, and #799 overall. Michigan recruited Trotwood-Madison regularly several years ago, landing players such as Mike McCray II, but that relationship has dropped off in the last few years.
Landen Bartleson – RB – Danville (KY) Boyle: Bartleson is a 6’1″, 182-pounder with offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #47 running back, and #633 overall. He claims a 4.64 forty, a 4.51 shuttle, and a 35.7″ vertical. In his high school career so far, he has run the ball 318 times for 2,354 yards (7.4 YPC) and 37 touchdowns. He also plays cornerback and could play defense at the next level.
Clark Phillips III – CB – La Habra (CA) La Habra: Phillips is a 5’10”, 178 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and UCLA, among others. He has some fun film to watch with his speed and short-area quickness, and I think he could easily play slot receiver in college, too.
Jerrold Pough – S – Hollywood (FL) McArthur: Pough is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from LSU, Maryland, and Miami, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #58 safety, and #1068 overall.
OFF THE BOARD
Mookie Cooper – RB – St. Louis (MO) Trinity Catholic: Cooper committed to Texas.
MISCELLANEY
Here’s a list of visitors for this coming weekend (LINK).
Catawissa (PA) Southern Columbia wide receiver Julian Fleming named a final six that does not include Michigan: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State (LINK). This is unfortunate, since Fleming is the #1 wide receiver in the country.
Orange Park (FL) Oakleaf defensive end Chantz Williams recently got a Michigan offer and promptly named a top five that doesn’t include the Wolverines. The list: Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Miami (LINK). I don’t think he’s coming north.
In better news, 2021 Virginia Beach (VA) Princess Anne cornerback Tony Grimes named Michigan to his top group:
