In case you’re not aware, I have a list of every Michigan recruit going back 20+ years and their rankings (LINK).
Below you will find each 2021 recruit and his closest ranked comparison by position in Michigan history. This might help boost – or temper – some expectations for what we will see from the class.

I haven’t posted a visitors list in a long time, because visitors haven’t been allowed to visit Michigan since last winter. And they’re still not allowed to visit campus, at least not while having any contact with the coaching staff.
But there is a group of recruits who plan to come to Ann Arbor and hang out together on their own.

Raheem Anderson II – C – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Anderson is committed to Michigan (LINK).

Ryan Barnes – CB – Gaithersburg (MD) Quince Orchard: Barnes is a 6’2″, 175 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia and LSU, among others. He’s currently unranked. Michigan is hitting Quince Orchard hard this cycle, with offers out to defensive tackle Marcus Bradley and linebacker Demeioun Robinson, too.
Tristan Bounds – OT – Wallingford (CT) Choate Rosemary Hall: Bounds is a 6’7″, 258-pounder with offers from Maryland and West Virginia, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #64 offensive tackle, and #671 overall. He also has an offer from Virginia Tech, where his mother worked and where he was born. Bounds fit the mold of the long, lanky tackle that I like, so I think ranking at #671 overall is too low.
J.T. Carver – K – Martin (TN) Westview: Carver is a 5’9″, 180 lb. prospect. He’s ranked as Chris Sailer’s #26 kicker in the class and as a 4.5-star. Carver is a teammate of 2022 quarterback Ty Simpson, and both received a visit from Jim Harbaugh last week. (If you follow me on Twitter, I’ve been posting updates on some players that the coaches are visiting.)
