Visitors: Michigan vs. Rutgers

Kentwood (LA) Kentwood cornerback Shyheim Carter

2016
Brandon Adams – RB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Adams is a 5’11”, 190 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He’s a teammate of 2016 offensive guard Cameron Kolwich (Northwestern), 2017 wide receiver K.J. Hamler, and 2017 linebacker Joshua Ross. As a junior in 2014, he ran the ball 239 times for 1,387 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Drew Beesley – DE – Warren (MI) De La Salle: Committed to Bowling Green State University.

Peter Bush – QB – Newport (CA) Coronoa Del Mar: Preferred walk-on offer.

Shyheim Carter – CB – Kentwood (LA) Kentwood: Carter is a 6’0″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, and Ole Miss, among others; he’s also a former Alabama commit. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #6 cornerback, and #52 overall. Carter is a versatile athlete who could play receiver, cornerback, or safety, although he looks like a corner to me. He is widely expected to end up in SEC country, but he has been rather consistent in mentioning Michigan and has had this visit scheduled for a couple months. This is his official visit. UPDATE: Carter is no longer planning to visit.

Chris Daniels – DT – Euless (TX) Trinity: Daniels is a 6’3″, 299 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #17 defensive tackle, and #161 overall. Originally from the Muskegon area, he visited Ann Arbor over the summer and has been strongly interested in the Wolverines. This is his official visit.

Sean McKeon, Wolverine

Dudley (MA) Shepherd Hill tight end Sean McKeon committed to Michigan on Monday. He chose the Wolverines over offers from Boston College, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Syracuse, and Virginia Tech, among others.

McKeon is 6’5″, 230 lbs. He claims a 4.69 forty, a 4.58 shuttle, a 36″ vertical, a 275 lb. bench press, and a 455 lb. squat.

RATINGS
ESPN: Unranked
Rivals: 2-star TE
Scout: 3-star, #51 TE
247 Sports: 3-star TE

McKeon was offered relatively recently. He immediately set up a visit date to see Michigan, and that visit took place this past weekend. He slept on it for a night, and here we are. The speed of his process makes a lot of sense, not only because Michigan is his best offer, but because tight ends should be lining up to play for Jim Harbaugh.

I have an inherent trust for Harbaugh’s evaluations and usage of tight ends, so I will try not to let that color my evaluation of McKeon himself. But I do think there is a lot to like. First of all, he has good size without bad weight, and he should just be able to pack on some muscle before contributing. Once the play starts, the first thing that jumps out about him is that he shows good acceleration off the ball, and I think he will be able to get separation from linebackers with that initial speed burst. He also shows the ability to adjust to the ball in the air, whether it’s sliding to make a catch or going up to get it, where he can catch the ball with his hands outside the frame of his body. He is not an absolutely dynamic runner with the ball in his hands, but the first clip of his highlights shows a pretty amazing run-after-catch effort, and the offense also uses him on reverses, which is pretty rare for a tight end. McKeon is also a willing blocker who shows some pretty solid technique, and he has the feet and the hips to be effective in the run game.

On the negative side, Massachusetts is not known for its football talent, and the guys McKeon runs away from in the film are probably not going to be big-time recruits themselves. He is not a quick-twitch guy who will make people miss very often, and he is mostly a straight-line player, which is pretty standard for tight ends.

Overall, though he is a 2-star guy or unranked to a couple services, I think McKeon is a quality recruit. He reminds me of junior tight end Jake Butt in a lot of ways. Michigan should be able to get him in the flat or hit him on crossing routes, and a guy with decent speed who’s 250 lbs. or so will be tough to bring down for defensive backs.

McKeon’s commitment gives Michigan thirteen pledges in the 2016 class. He is the first true tight end in the class, though defensive end Rashad Weaver could be a blocking-type tight end. When McKeon arrives on campus, Butt will be a senior, and no other players have established themselves as true tight ends instead of H-backs (Khalid Hill, Ian Bunting, Henry Poggi, and Chase Winovich all seem like H-back types). The only other guy pegged for tight end is incoming freshman Tyrone Wheatley, Jr., who is 6’7″, 286 lbs. and could feasibly end up at another position. If McKeon can add a reasonable amount of weight, he could find himself battling for a starting gig as a sophomore.

The last Michigan recruit from Massachusetts was 2013 defensive tackle Maurice Hurst, Jr., and no Michigan player has ever come from Shepherd Hill.

Visitors: June 12-14, 2015 and Sound Mind Sound Body Camp

The way information trickles out, it’s unclear at this point exactly which players will be visiting campus, going only to the Sound Mind Sound Body camp, or doing both. So there may be some overlap here, but I will try to keep track the best I can.

EDIT: I’ll be honest – keeping track of all the SMSB visitors is a fool’s errand. There are hundreds of players coming from all over the country. I’m doing my best to narrow it down to the elite players from across the country, and some of the more notable guys within the state. Obviously, since it’s taking place in Michigan, there are too many non-FBS-level locals to list here.

CAMPUS VISITORS
Harry Ballard III – WR – Florissant (MO) Mccluer North: Ballard is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect with an offer from Illinois. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #83 wide receiver, and #523 overall.

Devin Bush, Jr. – LB – Pembroke Pine (FL) Flanagan: Bush is a 6’0″, 220 lb. prospect who’s the son of former Florida State (and Dallas Cowboys) safety Devin Bush. The elder Bush is currently the head coach at Flanagan and hosted Michigan’s Summer Swarm camp just outside of Miami, FL. The younger Bush is a 247 Composite 4-star, the #9 inside linebacker, and #221 overall. While Florida State remains the overwhelming favorite (100% of the Crystal Ball predictions on 247 Sports), word is that Michigan has a fighting chance.


Chase Claypool – WR – Abbotsford (BC) Abbotsford: Claypool is a 6’5″, 205 lb. prospect out of British Columbia. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #145 wide receiver, and #940 overall. Oregon seemed like the early favorite, and Notre Dame’s offer also piqued Claypool’s interest. A visit to Michigan shows a fair amount of interest, and Michigan does have some history of developing Canadian players, such as former defensive tackle Renaldo Sagesse. Claypool will be in town on June 11, right before the weekend begins.

Alphonso Cornish, Jr. – OT – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall: Cornish has no significant recruiting profile, but the guy is listed at 6’6″, 400 lbs. Wow.

Micah Croom – S – La Mirada (CA) La Mirada: Croom is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect who committed to Utah in November 2014; he also has offers from Colorado, Illinois, and Indiana, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #45 safety, and #662 overall. It’s unclear at this point when exactly Croom plans to be in Ann Arbor, but his midwest tour starts on June 10th and he plans to visit Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Michigan State.

Hit the jump for several more names.

Brennon Dingle – WR – Baltimore (MD) Archbishop Spalding:

Tyshon Fogg – LB – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall:


Devin Gil – S – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan: A teammate of Bush’s, Gil is a 6’1″, 205 lb. prospect who committed to Miami in January; he also has offers from Louisville, Michigan, and several other programs. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #63 safety, and #931 overall. There has been talk that Bush and Gil will end up as a package deal, although Bush appears not to have much interest in Miami, and Florida State does not have much interest in Gil. If the two do pull off the package deal, Michigan could be a compromise option since the Wolverines have offered both prospects.

Nijuel Hill – CB – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall:

Jonathan Jones – LB – Orlando (FL) Oak Ridge: Jones is a 6’1″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, and Oklahoma, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #27 outside linebacker, and #396 overall. Soon after Michigan offered, he named Michigan his leader. At this point all twelve of the Crystal Ball predictions have him going to Michigan. There has been a lot of speculation that he will commit on the trip to Ann Arbor, which will be on June 17. He will be at Nike’s The Opening in July.

Joshua Kaindoh – DE – Essex (MD) Our Lady of Mt. Carmel: Kaindoh is a 6’6″, 235 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #2 weakside end, and #54 overall. I would expect Michigan to get involved, but right now he looks like a Penn State lean.


Xavier Kelly – DE – Wichita (KS) East: Kelly is a 6’5″, 255 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, and numerous others. He was previously committed to Kansas State. Kelly is a 247 Composite 4-star, the #8 weakside end, and #125 overall. It’s unclear where Kelly is leaning because his recruitment has exploded over the past couple months. Michigan is recruiting him as a Buck linebacker, which is a hybrid defensive end/linebacker. He has committed to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. (Check out some of his basketball highlights HERE).


Sean McKeon – TE – Dudley (MA) Shepherd Hill: McKeon is a 6’5″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Boston College, UConn, and UMass, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #64 tight end, and #1527 overall. When Michigan offered recently, McKeon almost immediately set up a visit to Ann Arbor. At this juncture, Michigan is clearly his best offer.

Josh Metellus – S – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan: Metellus is a 6’0″, 187 lb. prospect who picked up an offer from the Wolverines after this weekend’s satellite camp; he’s currently committed to Georgia Southern. He’s a 247 Composite 2-star, the #134 safety, and #1915 overall. Metellus is a teammate of Bush and Gil.

Trayvon Mullen – CB – Pompano Beach (FL) Coconut Creek: Mullen is a 6’2″, 197 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, and numerous others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 cornerback, and #40 overall. He and some of his teammates will be visiting Michigan and several other schools on a midwest swing, although Mullen does not have much interest in playing for the Wolverines.


Jahcour Pearson – WR – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan: Pearson is a 5’8″, 170 lb. prospect who is committed to Northern Illinois; he also has offers from Cincinnati, Miami-OH, and Toledo, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #230 wide receiver, and #1602 overall. A teammate of Bush and Gil, Pearson’s planned visit was tentative and has not been recently confirmed. I encourage you to watch his highlights, because while he lacks great breakaway speed, his balance and elusiveness as a slot receiver are pretty enticing.

Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones, a 2017 prospect, is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Stanford, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #3 wide receiver, and #12 overall. He has visits to Florida and USC scheduled for later this month. He and his parents will all be visiting Michigan together for the first time. He participated in the Rivals 5-star Challenge last weekend and earned an invitation to Nike’s The Opening, which will take place in July. He posted a 4.45 forty and a 38″ vertical in testing.

Patrice Rene – CB – Alexandria (VA) Episcopal: Rene is a 6’1″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #33 cornerback, and #343 overall. He is a transfer from Canada and has strong interest in Michigan, despite a lack of an offer. Unfortunately, most of the coaching staff will be out of town during Rene’s visit, but he will still get a tour of campus and be able to meet the coaches who are not on the Summer Swarm tour.

Cordarrian Richardson – RB – Memphis (TN) Trezevant: Richardson, a 2017 prospect, is a 5’10”, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 3-star, the #21 running back, and #266 overall. Prior to the SMSB camp, he visited Michigan on Wednesday and picked up an offer. He did not play football until his sophomore year of high school.

Morgan Scroggins – WR – Towson (MD) Calvert Hall:

Steven Smothers – WR – Reisterstown (MD) Franklin: Smothers is a 5’10”, 152 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #16 wide receiver, and #111 overall. He was offered by Michigan a while ago, but this will be his first time visiting campus.

Amon-Ra St. Brown – WR – Anaheim (CA) Servite: St. Brown, a 2018 prospect, is a 5’10”, 160 lb. receiver with offers from Utah and Washington State. (See below for a little bit more info.)

Osiris St. Brown – WR – Anaheim (CA) Servite: St. Brown is a 6’1″, 178 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, and others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #7 wide receiver, and #27 overall. His brother Equanimeous will be a freshman at Notre Dame in the fall. News came out recently that Osiris and his younger brother, Amon-Ra, will be transferring from Servite, although I have not heard a definitive destination.

Jonathan Sutherland – CB – Alexandria (VA) Episcopal: Sutherland, a 2017 prospect, is a 6’0″, 190 lb. player with offers from Miami, Nebraska, Rutgers, Virginia, and Wisconsin, among others. Another Canadian transfer, Sutherland is currently leaning toward the Scarlet Knights.

Naseir Upshur – TE – Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep: I wrote up a scouting report on Upshur back in April (LINK). He will be in town for the SMSB camp and plans to swing through campus again while he’s in the area. He is one of Michigan’s top targets at tight end and strongly considering the Wolverines.

Johncarlo Valentin – OG – Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep: Valentin is a 6’5″, 290 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona State, Auburn, Michigan, Pitt, and Rutgers, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #14 offensive guard, and #360 overall. He is a teammate of Upshur’s.

Donte Vaughn – CB – Memphis (TN) Whitehaven: Vaughn is a 6’3″, 192 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #27 cornerback, and #302 overall. There’s a good chance that he will end up as a safety at the next level. He attends the alma mater of 2015 linebacker Josh McMillon (Alabama), who was very close to committing to Michigan at one point.

Binjimen Victor – WR – Pompano Beach (FL) Coconut Creek: Victor is a 6’4″, 172 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Michigan, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #11 wide receiver, and #80 overall, plus a U.S. Army All-American.

Luiji Vilian – DE – Alexandria (VA) Episcopal: Vilian, another 2017 prospect from Canada, is a 6’3″, 250 lb. end with offers from Minnesota, Penn State, Rutgers, and Syracuse. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #4 weakside end, and #83 overall. The highest regarded of the Canadian trio – who all transferred to Episcopal at the same time – Vilian is also thought to be leaning toward Rutgers. The three of them want to pay together in college, although they’re not necessarily a package deal.

Jamyest Williams – CB – Lawrenceville (GA) Archer:

Malek Young – CB – Pompano Beach (FL) Coconut Creek: Young is a 5’10”, 175 lb. prospect who is committed to Georgia; he also held an offer from Michigan, at least from Brady Hoke’s staff. Young is a 247 Composite 3-star, the #43 cornerback, and #470 overall. He’s a teammate of Mullen and Victor’s.

Recruiting Update: June 8, 2015

Dudley (MA) Shepherd Hill tight end Sean McKeon (image via

COMMITMENTS
Winchester (IN) Winchester running back Kiante Enis committed to Michigan (LINK).

Indianapolis (IN) Ben Davis slot receiver Chris Evans committed to Michigan (LINK).

Prattville (AL) Prattville linebacker Dytarious Johnson committed to Michigan (LINK).

Detroit (MI) Cass Tech offensive guard Michael Onwenu committed to Michigan (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
Miramar (FL) Miramar defensive end Terrell Lucas was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’3″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Minnesota and Tulane. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #67 weakside end, and #1152 overall. Lucas was at the satellite camp in Tampa, and the coaches extended him an offer after evaluating him in person. His film is not particularly impressive, as he looks a little undersized and lacks the explosion I would expect in an undersized weakside end.

Dudley (MA) Shepherd Hill tight end Sean McKeon was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’5″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Boston College, Connecticut, Syracuse, Temple, and UMass, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #64 tight end, and #1489 overall. He claims a 4.69 forty. His highlights show a long, lanky kid who looks a little awkward and gangly, but he shows some toughness and an ability to grind out extra yards after the catch.

Hit the jump for a couple more 2016 offers, a couple 2017 offers, a new 2018 offer, some guys who committed elsewhere, and lots of random bits.

Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan safety Josh Metellus was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 187 lb. prospect who is currently committed to Georgia Southern. He’s a 247 Composite 2-star, the #134 safety, and #1915 overall. He claims a 33″ vertical, a 245 lb. bench press, and a 325 lb. squat. Unless he has hit a growth spurt since his junior season, he’s probably an inch or two under his listed height and weight, but he is an aggressive hitter from the safety position and shows some nice ball skills, too. He was at the satellite camp held just outside of Miami, FL. He is another teammate of 2016 offerees Devin Bush, Jr. and Devin Gil.

Delray Beach (FL) Atlantic cornerback Antwaine Richardson was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 165 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Rutgers, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #86 cornerback, and #867 overall. As a junior in 2014, he made 35 tackles, 2 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 10 pass breakups. Richardson is a lanky corner who needs to add weight, but he changes direction well and is pretty physical for being a skinny guy. He attends the same school as 2015 defensive end signee Shelton Johnson.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017
Tampa (FL) Tampa Bay Tech wide receiver Daquon Green was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’1″, 183 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, and several others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #33 wide receiver, and #210 overall. Green was one of the stars of the show at the Tampa satellite camp. He’s a speedster who can take the top off of a defense and run after the catch.

Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan wide receiver Clevan Thomas, Jr. was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’10”, 185 lb. prospect whose lone other offer comes from Temple. Another teammate of Bush, Gil, and Metellus, Thomas earned his offer at the Miami satellite camp.  Thomas is the son of Clevan Thomas, a former Florida State cornerback (6 career interceptions) who went on to become a three-time Arena Football League Defensive Player of the Year and Hall of Famer (73 career interceptions, 11 kickoff return touchdowns). Flanagan is Thomas’s third school after playing at Miami Jackson and Miami Booker T. Washington.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2018
Thomson (GA) Thomson cornerback Christian Tutt was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’11”, 171 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, South Carolina, and Tennessee, among others. Tutt is obviously a young kid, and his highlights are not very lengthy, but he does show some ability as a kick returner.

OFF THE BOARD
Hallandale (FL) Hallandale wide receiver Joshua Hammond committed to Florida. Hammond’s older brother, Frankie Hammond Jr., played for the Gators and spent the last two seasons as a wide receiver with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Darien (IL) Hinsdale South defensive end Josh King committed to Michigan State. Prior to his commitment, he tweeted out that his choice would make people’s heads spin. He seemingly forgot to check his 247 Sports profile page, which had 79% of predictions in favor of . . . Michigan State. Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State were all tied for second place with 5% of the votes.

Fort Wayne (IN) Bishop Luers wide receiver Austin Mack committed to Ohio State. Michigan was his leader many moons ago, and he even visited again recently, but for a long time, he has been expected to be a Buckeye.

Fort Wayne (IN) Wayne defensive end Auston Robertson committed to Michigan State. Just like King and Mack, this had been expected for a long time. Robertson had also visited Michigan several times and recently put the Wolverines in his top three, replacing Ohio State, but any late addition to a top three means it’s a long shot.

MISCELLANEOUS
Farmington Hills (MI) Harrison defensive end Khalid Kareem has set an announcement date for June 24th. He took a visit to Michigan two weekends ago that reportedly had a big impact on him because of its focus on academics. Kareem was previously committed to Michigan State for a short time this spring, but new circumstances are pointing toward him choosing Michigan.

Saline (MI) Saline quarterback Joshua Jackson has set an announcement date for Thursday. Jackson does not hold an offer from the Wolverines, but he is the son of former running backs coach Fred Jackson and the brother of former wide receiver Jeremy Jackson. He has offers from Minnesota, Northwestern, Utah, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #14 dual-threat quarterback, and #411 overall. He is expected to be a Hokie by the end of the week.
