It’s getting difficult to keep all of Michigan’s on-campus camps in order, so I’m going to include any leftover visitors not mentioned elsewhere here. Some of these players are camping/have camped, while others are simply stopping by campus to see what all the fuss is about. The main purpose of these lists is to identify the players who are actively showing interest in Michigan, so it probably doesn’t matter a whole lot whether these guys are wearing cleats or flip-flops.

2017

Jhamon Ausbon – WR – Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy: Ausbon is a 6’2″, 217 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #11 wide receiver, and #67 overall. He camped with Michigan when they made their way to Florida, and he also got a chance to see the team practice during the spring session at IMG Academy.

Dennis Bell – LB – Ellenwood (GA) Cedar Grove: Bell is a 6’2″, 217 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia State and Miami-OH. He earned a Michigan offer when he camped in Ann Arbor on June 21.

Ellis Brooks – LB – Richmond (VA) Benedictine: Brooks is a 6’2″, 233 lb. prospect who was previously committed to Duke. He also has offers from Michigan, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #21 outside linebacker, and #309 overall.

Hunter Echols – DE – Los Angeles (CA) Cathedral: Echols is a 6’3″, 231 lb. prospect who committed to UCLA in February; he also has offers from Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, and USC, just to name a few. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #6 weakside end, and #90 overall. He insists that he’s solid to UCLA, but solid commits don’t generally pay their own way to travel from California to Michigan. He camped at the Shine Time Camp on Monday.

Darnell Ewell – DT – Norfolk (VA) Lake Taylor: Ewell is a 6’4″, 295 lb. prospect with offers from virtually every elite program across the country. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #9 defensive tackle, and #145 overall. He recently named an ordered top ten that included Michigan at #2, just behind Ohio State. He’ll be visiting on June 26.

Kennedale (TX) Kennedale LB Baron Browning

2017

Toryque Bateman – OT – Gadsden (AL) Gadsden City: Bateman is a 6’8″, 305 lb. prospect with offers from Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, and Tennesee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #44 offensive tackle, and #403 overall.

Baron Browning – LB – Kennedale (TX) Kennedale: Browning is a 6’3″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from just about every major program across the country. He was previously committed to Baylor, though he decommitted well before the poop hit the fan in Waco. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, the #2 outside linebacker, and #8 overall. His older brother, Barry, played cornerback at Stanford for Jim Harbaugh.

Tory Carter – FB – Leesburg (GA) Lee County: Carter is a 6’2″, 255 lb. prospect who committed to LSU in May; he also has offers from Troy and Michigan, the latter of which he picked up on Tuesday. Carter is a 247 Composite 3-star, the #3 fullback, and #1653 overall.

2017

Logan Christopherson – TE – Lemont (IL) Lemont: Christopherson is a 6’6″, 216 lb. prospect who committed to Missouri last week. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #33 tight end, and #761 overall. He was supposed to visit Michigan on June 11, but I haven’t heard whether his recent commitment means his visit plans are over or not. Lemont is the alma mater of former Michigan Rimington Award winner David Molk.

Joel Honigford – OT – Sugarcreek (OH) Garaway: Honigford is a 6’6″, 278 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #67 offensive tackle, and #607 overall.

Jaylen Kelly-Powell – S – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Kelly-Powell is a 6’0″, 183 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #20 safety, and #250 overall. His Crystal Ball is 94% in favor of the Wolverines right now.

Jamyest Williams – CB – Loganville (GA) Grayson: Williams is a 5’9″, 170 lb. prospect with offers from Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Ohio State, South Carolina, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #6 cornerback, and #55 overall. A recent transfer from Lawrenceville (GA) Archer, Williams was in Detroit for the Sound Mind Sound Body camp and made his way over to Michigan’s campus. He took the same trip last year and subsequently eliminated the Wolverines from his top lists, so it’s either a sightseeing trip or he has renewed his interest in the Wolverines after what he has seen Jim Harbaugh do. Regardless, he’s a longshot to end up as a Wolverine. One of his teammates at Grayson will be 2017 running back commit Kurt Taylor, who is transferring from Covington (GA) Newton.

2018

Tyler Friday – DE – Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco: Friday is a 6’3″, 255 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #7 defensive tackle, and #35 overall.

Greensboro (NC) Grimsley safety Brelin Faison-Walden (image via Scout)

2017

Brelin Faison-Walden – S – Greensboro (NC) Grimsley: Faison-Walden is a 6’1″, 200 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #32 safety, and #417 overall. He will be in the area for a 7-on-7 tournament and plans to stop by Michigan on Saturday or Sunday.  I think he would be a very good fit for Don Brown’s SAM linebacker position.

Deron Irving-Bey – DE – Flint (MI) Southwestern: Irving-Bey is a 6’5″, 271 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, and Tennessee, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #12 strongside end, and #289 overall. He was supposed to visit Ann Arbor a couple weeks ago, but that trip got postponed, so this will be his first time visiting the staff. He will be in town on Thursday. UPDATE: Irving-Bey is no longer visiting this week.

Ambry Thomas – CB – Detroit (MI) King: Thomas is a 5’11”, 174 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #14 cornerback, and #135 overall. I originally heard he was supposed to visit this weekend but then he went to Michigan last weekend, so this visit may not be happening now.
