The following players have been reported to be visiting at various times, although these types of plans are hard to nail down. Some of these players might not make it, and numerous others will surely roll into town. This summer camp mostly gives rising juniors, sophomores, and freshmen some exposure to coaches from U of M and other in-state programs; however, the Wolverines’ coaches have also discovered rising seniors who made a splash and earned offers, such as Freddy Canteen and Brandon Watson in the class of 2014, 2013 cornerback Channing Stribling, and 2012 safety Jeremy Clark.
NOTE: New additions to the list will be placed at the top of each player’s respective class, rather than continuing to place them in alphabetical order.
2015
Tyler Green – S – Hyattsville (MD) DeMatha: Green is a 6’3″, 195 lb. prospect who committed to Ohio State in early June; he also has offers from Indiana, Maryland, and North Carolina State. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #31 safety, and #471 overall.
Jon Runyan – OG – Philadelphia (PA) St. Joseph’s: Runyan committed to Michigan in June 2013 (LINK).
Leeward Brown – OG – Hollywood (FL) Miramar: Brown is a 6’3″, 338 lb. prospect who committed to Miami in February; he also has offers from East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, South Florida, and Temple. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #41 offensive guard, and #575 overall. He’s lining up several visits to score more offers, so it does not appear he’s 100% solid to Miami.
Cole Chewins – TE – Clarkston (MI) Clarkston: Chewins is a 6’7″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, and Miami-OH. He’s currently unranked.

Cario Davison – S – Galion (OH) Galion: Davison is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He’s the younger brother of 2014 athlete Dareian Watkins, who was on Michigan’s radar but was never offered and ended up signing with Wisconsin. Davison is not the same level of a prospect as Watkins was, but he could earn some offers with a good summer camp circuit.
Austin Dorris – TE – Shadyside (OH) Shadyside: Dorris is a 6’5″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Kent State, Marshall, Ohio, Toledo, and Western Michigan. He is currently unranked. He plays quarterback and outside linebacker for his high school team, but he will likely become a tight end at the next level. He also visited Michigan back in March.
Jack Dunaway – DE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Dunaway is a 6’3″, 212 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He’s the son of former Michigan tight end Craig Dunaway. He claims a 4.68 forty. As a junior in 2013, he made 67 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 15 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 19 quarterback hurries.
Wesley French – OG – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph: French is a 6’4″, 300 lb. prospect with offers from Ball State, Buffalo, Central Michigan, and Western Michigan.
James Hill – RB – Livonia (MI) Clarenceville: Hill is a 6’1″, 215 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.
Alex Malzone – QB – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Malzone committed to Michigan last mont (LINK).
Grant Perry – WR – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Perry is a 5’11”, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Ball State, Central Michigan, and Eastern Michigan. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #140 wide receiver, and #1151 overall. He is 2015 Michigan quarterback commit Alex Malzone’s top target.
John Reid – CB – Philadelphia (PA) St. Joseph’s: Reid is a 5’10”, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Rutgers, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #11 cornerback, and #109 overall. He claims a 4.43 forty. Reid is also the teammate of 2015 Michigan offensive guard commit Jon Runyan, Jr.
Justin Tranquill – S – Fort Wayne (IN) Carroll: Tranquill is a 5’11”, 175 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, and Indiana, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #20 safety, and #329 overall. As a junior running back, he ran the ball 178 times for 1,475 yards and 18 touchdowns, caught 26 passes for 312 yards and 1 touchdown, and made 17 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 11 pass breakups. His brother Drue will be a freshman safety/linebacker at Notre Dame this fall.
Hit the jump for 2016 and 2017 prospects.
2016
Tobias Gilliam – CB – Huber Heights (OH) Wayne: Gilliam is a 6’0″, 182 lb. prospect with no offers right now. He claims a 4.51 forty.

Demetric Vance – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Vance is a 6’1″, 170 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.
Jesse Johnson – S – Detroit (MI) King: Johnson is a 5’11”, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Illinois and Toledo. He attends the alma mater of junior receiver Dennis Norfleet and is teammates with 2015 linebacker Tyriq Thompson, who holds a Michigan offer.
Mikale Washington – QB – Detroit (MI) King: A teammate of Jesse Johnson (above), Washington is a 6’4″, 180 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He moved to Detroit from California this offseason, but he has performed well at a couple camps this spring and is likely to be a desired prospect as it gets closer to National Signing Day.
Messiah DeWeaver – QB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: DeWeaver is a 6’3″, 202 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Kentucky, and Louisville, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #13 pro-style QB, and #309 overall. DeWeaver has visited Michigan numerous times and was a teammate of redshirt freshmen Reon Dawson and Mike McCray.

Sean Rattay – C – Toledo (OH) St. John’s: Rattay is a 6’2″, 278 lb. prospect with an offer from Toledo. It’s unclear whether Michigan will pursue centers in the 2016 class, partly because they’re exploring the center position in the 2015 class. Rattay attends the alma mater of redshirt junior center Jack Miller.
Malik Bramley – WR – Fort Wayne (IN) Snider: Bramley is a 6’2″, 170 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He claims a 4.54 forty
Kyree Campbell – DE – Woodbridge (VA) Freedom: Campbell is a 6’5″, 250 lb. prospect with offers from Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, and a few others. He was just offered by the Wolverines in mid-May but still intends to visit for camp. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #7 strongside end, and #116 overall in his class.
Jonathon Cooper – DE – Columbus (OH) Gahanna-Lincoln: Cooper is a 6’3″, 215 prospect with offers from Illinois and Kentucky. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #11 weakside end, and #138 overall. Cooper visited Michigan for a basketball game in March.
K.J. Costello – QB – Rancho Santa Margarita (CA) Catholic: Costello is a 6’4″, 213 lb. prospect with offers from Cal, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Tennessee, and Virginia. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #5 pro-style quarterback, and #139 overall. Costello is perhaps the most likely of the 2016 offered quarterbacks to commit to Michigan.
Liam Eichenberg – OT – Cleveland (OH) St. Ignatius: Eichenberg is a 6’5″, 275 lb. prospect with offers from Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 5-star, the #3 offensive tackle, and #7 overall in his class. Michigan is in his top three along with the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish, but Ohio State is considered the strong leader. Eichenberg attends the alma mater of Michigan linebacker Jake Ryan.
Luke Farrell – TE – Perry (OH) Perry: Farrell is a 6’6″, 219 lb. prospect with an offer from Illinois. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #9 tight end, and #290 overall. He claims a 4.95 forty.

Khaleke Hudson – S – McKeesport (PA) McKeesport: Hudson is a 6’0″, 200 lb. prospect with offers from Akron, Cincinnati, Pitt, Temple, Toledo, and West Virginia. Already a big kid as a sophomore, I think he will probably grow into a linebacker for college.

Khalid Kareem – DE – Farmington Hills (MI) Harrison: Kareem is a 6’4″, 225 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. Harrison has sent defensive end Mario Ojemudia and tight end/wide receiver Devin Funchess to Michigan in recent years.
Austin Mack – WR – Fort Wayne (IN) Bishop Luers: Mack is a 6’2″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Indiana, and Ohio State. If Michigan decides to offer, they would probably be launched into his top one or two schools.

Demario McCall – RB – North Ridgeville (OH) North Ridgeville: McCall is a 5’11”, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Bowling Green, Ohio State, and Pitt.

Michigan has not had a great deal of success in St. Vincent-St. Mary’s, where top prospects typically go to Ohio State. The Wolverines have not offered yet, but I would be surprised if they don’t offer him at some point.

2017

Carter Dunaway – TE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Dunaway is the brother of Jack (above) and the son of Craig Dunaway. He has some potential as a prospect down the road, and there’s video of him dunking a basketball as an 8th grader (LINK), so he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
Blake Gallagher – LB – Needham (MA) St. Sebastian’s: Gallagher is a 6’1″, 220 lb. prospect with an offer from Nebraska.
Robert Hainsey – OT – Monroeville (PA) Gateway: Hainsey is a 6’5″, 245 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.
