Visitors: Michigan vs. UMass

Malik McDowell

Pickerington (OH) North TE Jake Butt: Butt committed to Michigan back in February.

Avon (OH) Avon CB Ross Douglas: Douglas committed to Michigan in July.

Columbus (OH) Marion-Franklin WR Jaron Dukes: Dukes committed to Michigan back in February.

Detroit (MI) East English Village TE Khalid Hill: Hill committed to Michigan back in February.

Detroit (MI) Cass Tech RB/LB Gary Hosey: Hosey is a 6’0″, 215 lb. athlete from the 2014 class.  He might be physical enough to play fullback, but he does not have the speed to be an FBS tailback.

Westland (MI) John Glenn WR Da’Mario Jones: Jones is a 6’2″, 185 lb. wideout who committed to Central Michigan over offers from BGSU and Toledo.  He transferred to John Glenn from Montgomery (NJ) Montgomery.  With LaQuon Treadwell delaying his decision longer and longer – and Michigan appearing to fall back to the pack with him – Michigan might need to offer more receivers in the near future, so Jones might be a guy watch. (Highlights.)

Maitland (FL) Orangewood Christian FB/LB Jimmy Martin: Martin is a 5’11”, 205 lb. prospect from the class of 2015.  He claims a 4.62 forty (but was timed at 4.84 at a national combine) and had 111 tackles, 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries as a freshman in 2011.  Keep in mind that Orangewood is a small Christian school that doesn’t play the best competition.  However, he was named to the Maxpreps Freshman All-American Second Team.  His head coach was previously the head coach at Orlando (FL) Dr. Phillips and Orlando (FL) Edgewater, the latter of which sent wide receiver Greg Mathews and linebacker Mike Jones to Michigan. (Freshman highlights.)

Detroit (MI) Loyola DE Malik McDowell: McDowell is a 2014 prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, and Wisconsin, among others.  He has been considered to be a heavy Michigan lean, but he’s also interested in Michigan State and Ohio State.  He is expected to visit MSU for their game against Notre Dame after he visits Ann Arbor in the afternoon.  McDowell stands 6’6″ and weighs 292 lbs., and I think he’ll eventually end up at defensive tackle rather than end.

Plantation (FL) American Heritage RB Sony Michel: A 2014 prospect, he already has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, and Notre Dame.  His older brother Marken is the leading receiver for UMass, which is likely the biggest reason for visiting Michigan.  The younger Michel is coming off an ACL tear he suffered during his sophomore year.

Detroit (MI) Southwestern RB Romello Ross: Ross is a 5’11”, 180 lb. running back from the class of 2015.  As a freshman in 2011, he had 1,312 yards rushing, 46 tackles, and 6 interceptions.  He doesn’t have any offers yet, but that’s not unusual for a kid at the beginning of his sophomore season. (Highlights.)

Novi (MI) Catholic Central RB Wyatt Shallman: Shallman committed to Michigan back in February.

Ottawa (IL) Marquette LS Scott Sypniewski: Sypniewski committed to Michigan back in June.

Detroit (MI) Cass Tech CB Damon Webb: Webb is a 5’11”, 170 lb. wide receiver/cornerback with offers from LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and others.  LSU and Michigan appear to be the front runners in his recruitment.

Detroit (MI) Cass Tech LB William White: White is a 6’1″, 215 lb. linebacker from the 2014 class.  Of the Cass Tech trio of linebackers, I think White is the second-most talented player behind Deon Drake. (Highlights of White.)

Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park Academy WR Csont’e York: York committed to Michigan back in May.

Rivals: Michigan’s pre-season top 30 recruits for 2013

Csont’e York went from unknown to the #8 prospect in the state
On Tuesday, Rivals released its top 30 recruits from the state of Michigan.  There are six Wolverines on the list altogether.

1. Shane Morris – QB – Warren (MI) De La Salle
3. Jourdan Lewis – CB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech
4. David Dawson – OG – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech
5. Wyatt Shallman – RB – Novi (MI) Catholic Central
8. Csont’e York – WR – Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park
23. Khalid Hill – TE – Detroit (MI) Crockett

By comparison, Michigan State has #7 and #10, who are LB John Reschke and RB Gerald Holmes, respectively.

Other players of note on the list:

11. Kenton Gibbs – DT – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Gibbs is currently committed to Illinois and has not been offered by Michigan, but if he earns a Michigan offer, I think there’s a very good chance that he’ll switch his commitment.

13. Berkley Edwards – RB – Chelsea (MI) Chelsea: There has been a lot of noise about Michigan not offering Braylon Edwards’ younger brother, but he’s not really a need at this point.  If for some reason a roster spot opens up for a small-ish running back, he might get an offer.

24. Teo Redding – WR – Warren (MI) Collegiate: Redding is skinny and needs time to develop, but I wouldn’t be totally surprised if he ends up being the Dennis Norfleet of 2013 – a late offer to a local kid who’s a bit of a project.
