Visitors: Michigan vs. Penn State

2015
Brian Cole – WR – Saginaw (MI) Heritage:
 Cole committed to Michigan in July (LINK).

Javarius Davis – CB – Jacksonville (FL) Ed White: Davis, the country’s #40 running back according to 247’s Composite rankings, was scheduled to officially visit Michigan this weekend but canceled.

Jack Dunaway – DE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice:

Tyree Kinnel – S – Huber Heights (OH) Wayne: Kinnel committed to Michigan in August 2013 (LINK).

Darrin Kirkland, Jr. – LB – Indianapolis (IN) Lawrence Central: Kirkland committed to Michigan in May (LINK).

Keisean Lucier-South – DE – Orange (CA) Lutheran: Lucier-South is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCLA, and USC, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, the #2 weakside end, and #23 overall. Lucier-South called Michigan a “dream offer” when he got it, but teams like Oklahoma and USC have been making a push since then. While both teams have been the victim of upsets this season, neither is going through a 2-4 season and/or potential coaching change. This is Lucier-South’s official visit.

Alex Malzone – QB – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Malzone committed to Michigan in May (LINK).

Grant Perry – WR – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice:

Tyrone Miller – S – Saline (MI) Saline:

Mook Reynolds – CB – Greensboro (NC) Northern Guilford: Reynolds is a 6’0″, 175 lb. prospect who is committed to Virginia Tech. He also has offers from Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Tennessee, among others. He took an official visit to Knoxville last weekend, and this is his official visit to Ann Arbor.

Zach Robertson – OG – Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco: Robertson was originally scheduled to take an official visit to Ann Arbor for the Penn State game, but he has since canceled. He’s the #319 player in the class, according to the 247 Composite.

Auden Tate – WR – Tampa (FL) Wharton: Tate is a 6’4″, 215 lb. Florida State commit; he also has offers from Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, and numerous others. Michigan was an early favorite and was in his top group before he committed to the Seminoles, so there’s an outside shot that Michigan could flip him if things go in the right direction for Michigan. Unfortunately, he’s an early enrollee, so an iffy coaching situation would likely spell doom for Michigan’s chances.

Ahmad Wagner – WR – Huber Heights (OH) Wayne: Wagner is a 6’6″, 190 lb. prospect with an offer from Kentucky. A teammate of Kinnel’s, he’s also a high level basketball prospect (Iowa and Minnesota have offered). He may fit the profile of the jumbo wide receiver Michigan likes if they find themselves scrounging for wideouts.


Mike Weber – RB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Weber committed to Michigan in August (LINK), but he is looking to take other official visits, considering Michigan’s current situation.

Hit the jump for 2016 and 2017 prospects.

2016
Ben Bredeson – OT – Hartland (WI) Arrowhead:

Messiah DeWeaver – QB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: DeWeaver committed to Michigan in June (LINK).

Daelin Hayes – LB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech:

Lavert Hill – CB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Hill is a 5’11”, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, North Carolina, and several others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #22 cornerback, and #228 overall. His older brother, Delano, is a sophomore safety at Michigan.

Elijah Holyfield – RB – Atlanta (GA) Woodward Academy: The son of boxer Evander Holyfield canceled his planned trip.

Joshua Jackson – QB – Saline (MI) Saline:

Khalid Kareem – DE – Farmington Hills (MI) Harrison:

Austin Mack – WR – Fort Wayne (IN) Bishop Luers: Mack is a 6’2″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #20 wide receiver, and #96 overall. He claims a 4.55 forty but looks more like a possession receiver. He originally had Michigan out front, but now it seems Notre Dame has pulled ahead.

Kalebb Perry – WR – Mt. Pleasant (MI) Mt. Pleasant:

Sean Rattay – C – Toledo (OH) St. John’s:
David Reese – LB – Farmington (MI) Farmington:

Max Richardson – LB – Atlanta (GA) Woodward Academy: Richardson was supposed to attend with teammate Holyfield.

Auston Robertson – DE – Fort Wayne (IN) Wayne:

Eric Rogers – LB – Warren (MI) De La Salle:

Erik Swenson – OT – Downers Grove (IL) South: Swenson committed to Michigan in November 2013 (LINK).

Demetric Vance – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech:

Clark Yarbrough – OT – Woodberry Forest (VA) Woodberry Forest: Yarbrough is a 6’5″, 255 lb. prospect with offers from Clemson, Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #17 offensive tackle, and #205 overall. Yarbrough had Michigan in his top couple schools, so Michigan’s coaching situation could have a big impact.

Abdullah Yaseen – CB – Oak Park (MI) Oak Park:


2017
Carter Dunaway – TE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice:

Mac Hippenhammer – WR – Fort Wayne (IN) Snider:

Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph: Malone-Hatcher is a 6’3″, 235 lb. prospect with a lone offer from Ohio State. He’s considered one of the top few players in the state for his class.

Bruce Mann – QB – Bay City (MI) Western:

Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones is a 6’1″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others.

Willie Rodgers – DE – Saginaw (MI) Arthur Hill:

Jess Speight – DT – Richmond (VA) Collegiate:

Matthew Wilcox – S – Huber Heights (OH) Wayne:

He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #25 running back, #275 overall, and #10 in-state.

He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #22 cornerback, #230 overall, and #6 in-state. His brother Delano is a sophomore safety for the Wolverines; Delano would probably be starting at strong safety if not for a broken jaw that is keeping him out temporarily.

Michael Onwenu – DT – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Onwenu is a 6’2″, 310 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, and others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #4 offensive guard, #190 overall, and #5 in-state. Michigan is recruiting him as a defensive tackle.


David Reese – LB – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Reese is a 6’1″, 235 lb. prospect with offers from a handful of MAC programs. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #16 inside linebacker, #503 overall, and #17 in-state.

2015

Michael Weber – RB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: You are well acquainted with Weber, who has visited Michigan 1,071 times. He’s currently the 247 Composite #14 running back and #115 player overall.

2016
Donnie Corley – WR – Detroit (MI) King: Corley is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Iowa, and a few MAC teams. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #44 wide receiver, #252 overall, and #8 in-state. Corley is transferring from Wyandotte (MI) Roosevelt for his junior season.

Lawrence Gordon – DE – Saginaw (MI) Arthur Hill: Gordon is a 6’6″, 260 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #9 weakside end, #163 overall, and #3 in-state. He has visited Ann Arbor several times, and the Wolverines are the presumed leader.

Lavert Hill – CB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Hill is a 5’11”, 165 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #22 cornerback, and #228 overall. He’s the younger brother of Michigan sophomore safety Delano Hill.

Leon Page – DE – Detroit (MI) King: Page is a 6’3″, 212 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 28 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks.

Kalebb Perry – WR – Mt. Pleasant (MI) Mt. Pleasant: Perry is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Central Michigan and Western Michigan. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #84 wide receiver, #504 overall, and #17 in-state. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 28 catches for 543 yards and 6 touchdowns. He camped at Michigan back in June but is still waiting for big-time offers.

Kareem Walker – RB – Wayne (NJ) De Paul Catholic: Walker is a 6’1″, 210 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, the #1 running back, and #6 overall. He also claims a 4.4 forty. Most importantly, his dreadlocks and running style make him look like Denard Robinson when he’s running the ball.

Mikale Washington – QB – Detroit (MI) King: Washington is a 6’4″, 180 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #24 pro-style quarterback, #428 overall, and #14 in-state. Washington transferred from southern California in the offseason, so this will be his first year of football in the Mitten.

2017
Johnathan Berghorst – DE – Zeeland (MI) East: Berghorst is a 6’2″, 215 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. Despite the lack of offers, he’s considered to be one of the top several in-state prospects for 2017.

Andre Jackson – CB – Bridgeport (MI) Bridgeport: I have been unable to find much information on Jackson other than his class and high school.

Bruce Mann – QB – Bay City (MI) Western: Mann is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. Although it’s early, he’s considered to be perhaps the top quarterback in-state for his class. However, his father had been the coach at Western for the past five years and has now taken a power company job near Chicago. Mann is reportedly remaining in-state while his father commutes, but there’s a good chance that the younger Bruce will eventually move closer to Chicago.

Will Rogers – DE – Saginaw (MI) Arthur Hill: Rogers is a 6’6″, 235 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

2019
Sam Johnson III – Detroit (MI): This is way early, but the recruiting sites reported it. In the Detroit youth league, Johnson completed 68/104 passes for 1,125 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, plus he ran for 224 yards and 4 touchdowns on 31 carries.
