ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2019

Oakland (CA) Freedom running back Giles Jackson was offered by Michigan. He’s a 5’8″, 175 lb. prospect with offers from Oregon, UCLA, and USC, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #8 all-purpose back, and #727 overall. He claims a 4.53 forty, a 4.01 shuttle, a 35″ vertical, and a 265 lb. bench press. He took an official visit to Michigan this past weekend, just a couple days after being offered by the Wolverines.

Dunlap (IL) Dunlap tight end Josiah Miamen was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’4″, 225-pounder with offers from Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #64 weakside end, and #912 overall, though the Wolverines are looking at him as a tight end. He earned his offer at Michigan’s camp a week ago, and then he took an unofficial visit this past weekend. Steve Wiltfong subsequently put in a crystal ball pick for Michigan.

Hit the jump for several more updates from the past week.

2019

Jahleel Billingsley – TE – Chicago (IL) Phillips: Billingsley is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #9 tight end, and #260 overall. Right now 83% of his Crystal Ball picks are for Ohio State.

Jase Bowen – WR – Toledo (OH) Central Catholic: Bowen is a 6’1″, 178-pounder with offers from Kentucky, Minnesota, and Virginia, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #74 wide receiver, and #561 overall. He was previously committed to Notre Dame to play baseball.

Zach Charbonnet – RB – Westlake Village (CA) Oaks Christian: Charbonnet is a 6’2″, 215-pounder with offers from Florida, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, UCLA, and USC, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #18 running back, and #275 overall.

Daequan Hardy – CB – Pittsburgh (PA) Penn Hills: Hardy is a 5’10”, 160 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, a couple service academies, and a few MAC schools. He claims a 4.45 forty and a 38″ vertical. I don’t always tout the underrated guys, but I really think Hardy’s recruitment is going to take off. He’s a pretty electric player.

Zach Harrison – DE – Lewis Center (OH) Olentangy Orange: Harrison is a 6’6″, 240 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 5-star, the #2 weakside end, and #3 overall. All thirteen Crystal Ball picks have him going to Ohio State, which sounds about right. But at least Michigan is getting him on campus, so there’s a chance…

Will Harrod – OT – Fort Washington (MD) National Christian Academy: Harrod is a 6’5″, 305-pounder with offers from Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Oregon, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #21 offensive tackle, and #188 overall. There are eleven Crystal Ball predictions in for him, and every single one is in favor of Michigan; in fact, there are some who believe he will commit to the Wolverines during his trip.

Hit the jump for several more visitors.

Michigan has thrown out more than 25 offers since my last update, so I’m breaking it down to separate offense and defense posts. As of this writing on Wednesday night, Michigan has offered 197 players in the 2019 class.

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2019

Oklahoma City (OK) Putnam City defensive end Collin Clay was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’5″, 235 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma State, among others. The Sooners have not offered yet, but they are considered to be his favorite. He’s a 3-star, the #37 strongside end, and #534 overall. He made 56 tackles and 3 sacks as a junior in 2017.

Charlotte (NC) Providence Day School linebacker Osita Ekwonu was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Duke, North Carolina, Ohio State, and Penn State. He’s likely and inside linebacker prospect at the next level.

Washington (DC) St. John’s cornerback Aman Greenwood was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 180 lb. prospect with offers from Boston College, North Carolina, and Pitt, among others. Greenwood is a teammate of 2018 quarterback and Michigan commit Kevin Doyle.

Hit the jump for several more new offers on the defensive side of the ball.
