Visitors: March 7-9, 2014

Akron (OH) St. Vincent-St. Mary defensive back Tyrece Speiaght

2015
Michael Weber – RB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Weber is a 5’10”, 205 lb. prospect with a top group that includes Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #11 running back, #109 overall, and the #2 player in the state.

2016
Aaron Mathews – WR – Clairton (PA) Clairton: Mathews is a 6’2″, 175 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. This will be his first college visit. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 1,010 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns as a running quarterback, but he is likely to be recruited as a wideout going into college.

Martell Pettaway – RB – St. Clair Shores (MI) South Lake: Pettaway is a 5’9″, 185 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He will probably one of the top several in-state prospects for his class. He has said that his current favorite is Michigan State.

Tyrece Speaight – CB – Akron (OH) St. Vincent-St. Mary: Speiaght is a 5’10”, 173 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He claims a 4.5 forty and a 10.7 time in the 100 meters. He attends the alma mater of Doran Grant (Ohio State), Dante Booker (Ohio State), and Lebron James (who went somewhere and did something, I think).


2017
Carter Dunaway – TE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Dunaway is a 6’5″, 205 lb. prospect with no offers. He’s the son of former Michigan tight end Craig Dunaway and the younger brother of Jack, a 2015 defensive end prospect. Carter visited earlier in the week.

Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph: Malone-Hatcher is a 6’3″, 205 lb. prospect with no offers right now. As a freshman in 2013, he had 63 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, and13 sacks. He was named a Maxpreps Freshman All-America. It’s still early, but the buzz around him suggests he will be one of the top few players in the state for 2017.

Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones is a 6’1″, 170 lb. prospect with no offers at this time. He is generally considered to be one of the top few prospects in the state for 2017 and could play receiver, cornerback, or safety at the next level.

Visitors: February 28-March 2, 2014

Jackson (OH) Jackson linebacker Reagan Williams (image via MGoBlog)

2015
Austin Dorris – TE – Shadyside (OH) Shadyside: Dorris is a 6’5″, 220 lb. prospect with offers from Ohio and Toledo. A small school quarterback, Dorris will likely have to play tight end or linebacker at the next level. Michigan has expanded their net for tight ends in recent weeks, but I do not expect Dorris to get an offer anytime soon.

Jack Dunaway – DE – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Dunaway is a 6’3″, 212 lb. prospect with no offers right now. He claims a 4.68 forty, a 31″ vertical, a 265 lb. bench, and a 425 lb. squat. He’s the son of former Michigan tight end Craig Dunaway.

Alex Malzone – QB – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Malzone is a 6’2″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Toledo, Wake Forest, and Western Michigan. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #17 pro-style quarterback, #441 overall, and the #8 player in the state. As a junior in 2013, he was 190/281 passing for 2,794 yards and 25 touchdowns. He has visited Michigan numerous times and would likely be an immediate commit if the Wolverines offered him, but the coaches are holding off for now. Malzone has visited Michigan State, North Carolina State, Tennessee, and Wake Forest in recent weeks.

Grant Perry – WR – Bloomfield Hills (MI) Brother Rice: Perry is a 5’11”, 170 lb. prospect with an offer from Central Michigan. He was Malzone’s top receiver during the 2013 season. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #122 wide receiver, #1021 overall, and the #16 player in the state.

Reagan Williams – LB – Jackson (OH) Jackson: Williams is a 6’3″, 232 lb. prospect with offers from Indiana, Kent State, Ohio, and Purdue. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #18 inside linebacker, and #474 overall. As a junior in 2013, he had 84 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery; he also caught 10 passes for 169 yards and 1 touchdown. Michigan appears to be looking more for outside linebackers at this point, and Williams looks more like a MIKE linebacker, so an offer would be a little bit of a surprise.

2016

Desmond Fitzpatrick – WR – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Fitzpatrick is a 6’1″, 175 lb. prospect with an offer from Indiana. He is visiting Michigan a couple times during the week to get a feel for the program.

Austin Mack – WR – Fort Wayne (IN) Bishop Luers: Mack is a 6’2″, 205 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati and Indiana. He attends the alma mater of former Michigan target and current Notre Dame outside linebacker Jaylon Smith.

2017
Todd Sibley – RB – Akron (OH) Archbishop Hoban: Sibley is a 5’10”, 195 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Visitors: February 21-23, 2014

Traverse City (MI) West offensive lineman Thiyo Lukusa

Asmar Bilal – LB – Indianapolis (IN) Ben Davis: Bilal is a 6’3″, 201 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Northwestern, among others. As a junior in 2013, he had 106 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #7 inside linebacker, and the #208 player overall.

Brian Cole – WR – Saginaw (MI) Heritage: Cole is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State, along with several others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 athlete, the #57 player overall, and the top in-state player for 2015.

Donnie Corley – WR – Wyandotte (MI) Roosevelt: Corley is a 6’2″, 160 lb. prospect for 2016. He recently won a Best of the Midwest camp MVP and looks like a promising prospect going forward. He also visited Michigan last weekend.

Shaun Crawford – CB – Lakewood (OH) St. Edward: Crawford committed to Michigan in August 2013.

Andrew David – K – Massillon (OH) Washington: David committed to Michigan in June 2013.

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. I profiled him in the In-State Preview of 2015 Recruiting.

David Edwards – QB/TE – Downers Grove (IL) North: Edwards is a 6’6″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Vanderbilt, and Wisconsin, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #34 athlete, and the #303 player overall. Despite being ranked in some circles as a quarterback, I think his best chance of earning a Michigan offer would be as a tight end.

Desmond Fitzpatrick – WR – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Fitzpatrick is a 6’1″, 165 lb. prospect for 2016 with a lone offer from Indiana. He may visit this weekend, and that would be the second weekend in a row for him to be on campus.

Kevin Givens – LB – Altoona (PA) Altoona: Givens is a 6’3″, 230 lb. prospect with offers from Pitt, Temple, UMass, and Western Michigan. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #30 weakside end, and #727 overall for the 2015 class. Givens looks like a ‘tweener OLB/WDE. He also stopped by Ann Arbor in late January, so his interest in the Wolverines appears to be pretty legitimate. UPDATE: Givens committed to Pitt on Tuesday, so he is probably not planning to visit.


Damien Harris – RB – Berea (KY) Madison Southern: Harris, one of the top running backs in the 2015 class, decommitted from Michigan in January. A number of other schools have swooped in on him now that he’s a “free agent” but Michigan and Ohio State still seem to be the leaders.

Daelin Hayes – LB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Hayes is a 6’2″, 210 lb. prospect for 2016 with an offer from Michigan State. He also plays running back, but I think he lacks the suddenness to be a runner at the next level. He’s the cousin of Michigan running back Justice Hayes.

Troy Henderson, Jr. – LB – Lakewood (OH) St. Edward: Henderson is a 6’1″, 215 lb. prospect with offers from Cincinnati and Toledo. He claims a 4.6 forty, a 4.2 shuttle, a 33″ vertical, a 330 lb. bench, and a 425 lb. squat. As a junior in 2013, he had over 100 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. He’s a teammate of Michigan cornerback commit Shaun Crawford.

Darrin Kirkland, Jr. – LB – Indianapolis (IN) Lawrence Central: Kirkland is a 6’2″, 228 lb. prospect with offers from Illinois, Indiana, Louisville, Ole Miss, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #5 inside linebacker, and #199 overall. As a junior in 2013, he had 110 tackles and 8 sacks. He has visited Michigan multiple times, and while Michigan does not appear to be going hard after inside linebackers at the moment, Kirkland may be in line for an offer sooner or later.

Thiyo Lukusa – OG – Traverse City (MI) West: Lukusa is a 6’5″, 300 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from Akron, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin. Several insider types believe Lukusa is leaning toward Michigan.

Harrison Moon – OT – Signal Mountain (TN) Signal Mountain: Moon is a 6’5″, 260 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt. He plays some tight end in high school, but he will probably be a tackle at the next level. He had 5 receptions for 100 yards as a junior in 2013. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #21 tight end, and the #788 player overall.


Kentrail Moran – RB – O’Fallon (IL) O’Fallon: Moran is a 5’10”, 180 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from Illinois and Northern Illinois. He claims a 4.4 forty, a 30″ vertical, and a 10.9 time in the 100 meters. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 1,140 rushing yards and 172 receiving yards to go with 14 total touchdowns. His class of 2014 teammate Dewayne Hendrix, a defensive end, signed with Tennessee earlier this month. UPDATE: Moran was unable to make it to Ann Arbor this weekend.

Jeff Thomas – WR – East St. Louis (IL) East St. Louis: Thomas is a 5’10”, 167 lb. prospect for 2017 with offers from Kansas, Michigan, and Syracuse. As a freshman in 2013, he had 54 catches for 944 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was a teammate of 2014 Michigan offeree Kyron Watson (Kansas) and will likely be traveling with Kentrail Moran. UPDATE: Moran was going to be Thomas’s ride to Ann Arbor, so he also did not visit.

Tyriq Thompson – LB – Detroit (MI) King: I did a scouting report on Thompson a few weeks ago.

Mike Weber – RB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Weber is a 5’11”, 190 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin, along with several others. Weber had reportedly been leaning toward Michigan State prior to the hiring of offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier, but this will be the second weekend in a row he has spent in Ann Arbor and Nussmeier appears to have piqued Weber’s interest. UPDATE: Weber was unable to make it to the Michigan basketball game on Sunday afternoon.

Visitors: February 14-16, 2014

Bolingbrook (IL) Bolingbrook linebacker Tuf Borland

Josh Barajas – LB – Merrillville (IN) Andrean: Barajas is a 6’3″, 212 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Illinois, Michigan, and Purdue; he just received his offer from the Wolverines last week.

Tuf Borland – LB – Bolingbrook (IL) Bolingbrook:

 Borland is a 6’1″, 200 lb. prospect for 2016 with an offer from Illinois. He attends the same high school as 2014 Michigan target Parrker Westphal (Northwestern) and one of his coaches is former Michigan cornerback Todd Howard.

Donnie Corley – WR – Wyandotte (MI) Roosevelt: Corley is a 6’2″, 160 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time.

Messiah DeWeaver – QB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: DeWeaver is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from Kentucky and Louisville. He attends the same high school as redshirt freshman linebacker Mike McCray II, as well as former Wolverines Roy Roundtree and Brandon Moore.

Liam Eichenberg – OG – Cleveland (OH) St. Ignatius: Eichenberg is a 6’5″, 275 lb. prospect for 2016 with an offer from Ohio State. He attends the alma mater of Michigan linebacker Jake Ryan.

Desmond Fitzpatrick – WR – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Fitzpatrick is a 6’1″, 175 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from Indiana, Ohio, and Toledo.

Lawrence Gordon – DE – Saginaw (MI) Arthur Hill: Gordon is a 6’6″, 260 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers yet. He has been getting Michigan interest and was visited to Brady Hoke in January.

Juanye Johnson – OG – Muskegon (MI) Muskegon: Johnson is a 6’4″, 275 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time.

Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph: Malone-Hatcher is a 6’3″, 207 lb. prospect for 2017 with no offers yet.

Jalen Martin – WR – Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park: Martin is a 6’3″, 190 lb. prospect for 2016 with a lone offer from Eastern Michigan. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 42 catches for 985 yards and 12 touchdowns. He attends the same high school as redshirt freshman wide receiver Csont’e York and freshman basketball point guard Derrick Walton, Jr.

Emani Mason – OG – Detroit (MI) East English Village: Mason is a 6’4″, 268 lb. prospect for 2017 with no offers at this time. He may be a little short right now to project to offensive tackle, so I have him listed as a guard; however, he has the feet to play tackle and may project there if he grows a little bit.

Josh Myers – OT – Miamisburg (OH) Miamisburg: Myers is a 6’5″, 260 lb. prospect for 2017 with offers from Illinois and Indiana already. He has an older brother who plays center for Kentucky.

Michael Onwenu – DT – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Onwenu is a 6’2″, 310 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers yet. I have not seen film on Onwenu, but he supposedly benches 325 lbs. and looks like a future nose tackle.

Donovan Peoples-Jones – WR – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Peoples-Jones is a 6’1″, 170 lb. prospect for 2017 with no offers yet. He could play receiver, cornerback, or safety at the next level.

Kalebb Perry – WR – Mt. Pleasant (MI) Mt. Pleasant: Perry is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers yet. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 28 receptions for 543 yards (19.4 yards/catch) and 6 touchdowns.

David Reese – LB – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Reese is a 6’1″, 235 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers up to this point. As a sophomore in 2013, he had 117 tackles and 6 sacks. Teammate and classmate Desmond Fitzpatrick, a wide receiver who is not expected to make the trip, figures to be one of the top in-state prospects in their cycle.

Mike Robb – TE – Midland (MI) Dow: Robb is a 6’6″, 190 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers up to this point. He had 51 catches and 6 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2013.

Will Rogers – DE – Saginaw (MI) Arthur Hill: Rogers is a 6’4″, 205 lb. prospect with no offers at this time.

Joshua Ross – LB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Ross is a 6’1″, 195 lb. prospect for 2017 with offers from Michigan State and Oklahoma. He broke his ankle in the middle of his freshman season for St. Mary’s, but he is expected to be one of the top few players in the 2017 class.

Emmanuel Rugamba – WR – Naperville (IL) Central: Rugamba is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers yet.

Prince Sammons – DE – Cincinnati (OH) Hills Christian: Sammons is a 6’8″, 260 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from Akron, Cincinnati, Duke, and Illinois. He is a very large kid who hasn’t really learned how his body works, as he’s a little awkward and stiff right now. It will be interesting to see how he develops.

Todd Sibley – RB – Akron (OH) Archbishop Hoban: Sibley is a 5’10”, 195 lb. prospect for 2017 with no offers at this time.

Erik Swenson – OT – Downers Grove (IL) North: Swenson committed to Michigan back in November 2013.

Ethan Tucky – DE – Delaware (OH) Hayes: Tucky is a 6’3″, 215 lb. prospect for 2016 with an offer from Eastern Michigan. He claims a 4.53 forty, a 4.51 shuttle, a 29″ vertical, a 260 lb. bench, and a 365 lb. squat. He plays defensive end in high school, but depending on how his body develops, he may turn into an outside linebacker.

Visitors: Michigan vs. Ohio State

Joshua Alabi – DT – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Alabi is a 6’5″, 270 lb. prospect with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Tennessee, and others. The Volunteers appear to be the early favorite. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, #29 OT, and #270 overall. UPDATE: Alabi will be headed to MSU instead.


Jason Alessi – S – Birmingham (MI) Brother Rice: Alessi is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect for 2014 with offers from Air Force, Akron, Harvard, and Yale. He’s committed to Michigan as a lacrosse player but was recently offered a preferred walk-on spot with the Wolverines. (Highlights.)

Trevon Avery – CB – Grand Blanc (MI) Grand Blanc: Avery is a 6’1″, 165 lb. prospect for 2015 with no offers at this time. He’s a 3-star quarterback to Scout. He’s also the younger brother of Michigan senior defensive back Courtney Avery.

Jerome Baker – LB – Cleveland (OH) St. Benedictine: Baker is a 6’1″, 205 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State, and Tennessee, among others. He recently declared Ohio State his clear #1, and it would be a huge surprise if he went anywhere else. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, #6 ATH, and #66 overall. (Highlights.)

Kei Beckham – CB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: Beckham is a 6’0″, 155 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, and Kentucky, among others. He’s a former teammate of Michigan freshman defensive back Reon Dawson and linebacker Mike McCray. (Highlights.)

Ian Bunting – TE – Hinsdale (IL) Central: Bunting committed to Michigan in April.

George Campbell – WR – Tarpon Springs (FL) East Lake: Campbell committed to Michigan in August.


Freddy Canteen – WR – Elkton (MD) Eastern Christian Academy: Canteen committed to Michigan in June.


Stefan Claiborne – WR – Clinton Township (MI) Chippewa Valley: Claiborne is a 6’1″, 168 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. He also visited Ann Arbor a couple weeks ago for the Nebraska game. (Highlights.)


Brian Cole – WR – Saginaw (MI) Heritage: Cole is a 6’2″, 190 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Tennessee, among others. Rumors keep swirling about him going back and forth between favoring Michigan and MSU, so it’s anybody’s guess right now. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, #5 ATH, and #58 overall. (Highlights.)


Mason Cole – OG – Tarpon Springs (FL) East Lake: Cole committed to Michigan back in February.

C.J. Conrad – TE – La Grange (OH) Keystone: Conrad is a 6’5″, 225 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Duke, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, #8 TE, and #228 overall. As a junior in 2013, he had 59 receptions for 924 yards and 14 touchdowns. (Highlights.)


Jashon Cornell – DE – St. Paul (MN) Cretin-Derham Hall: Cornell is a 6’4″, 245 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from just about everywhere. He’s a 247 Composite 5-star, #1 WDE, and #15 overall. So far he’s the only weakside end Michigan has offered in the class of 2015, and that appears to be purposeful as Michigan pursues him as their #1 guy. Cretin Derham is known for sending guys to Notre Dame, but they’ve had a number of elite recruits in recent years (Michael Floyd, James Onwualu, Seantrel Henderson) so it’s worth keeping up a good relationship. (Highlights.)


Shaun Crawford – CB – Lakewood (OH) St. Edward: Crawford committed to Michigan in August. UPDATE: Crawford can no longer attend the game.


Andrew David – K – Massillon (OH) Washington: David committed to Michigan in June.


Messiah DeWeaver – QB – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: DeWeaver is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect for 2016 with an offer from Louisville. He has visited Michigan several times and camped in Ann Arbor this past June. He attends the alma mater of current Michigan linebacker Michael McCray. (Highlights.)


David Edwards – QB – Downers Grove (IL) North: Edwards is a 6’6″, 225 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Illinois, Indiana, Syracuse, and Vanderbilt. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, #42 ATH, and #348 overall. Michigan is looking at him partially as a quarterback, but he also might be a tight end, and I think that’s the position where Edwards would be more likely to find a slot from Michigan, in my opinion. (Highlights.)


Brendan Ferns – LB – St. Clairsville (OH) St. Clairsville: Ferns is a 6’3″, 208 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. He’s the younger brother of 2014 Michigan linebacker commit Michael Ferns.

Michael Ferns III – LB – St. Clairsville (OH) St. Clairsville: Ferns committed to Michigan in August of last year.


Jimmy Fitzgerald – QB – Champaign (IL) Centennial: Fitzgerald is a 6’3″, 205 lb. prospect for 2015 with a lone FBS offer from Illinois. As a sophomore in 2012, he completed 96/195 passes for 1,300 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, #26 pro-style QB, and #529 overall. Fitzgerald is one of the handful of quarterbacks that have been in touch with Michigan’s coaching staff.


Desmond Fitzpatrick – WR – Farmington (MI) Farmington: Fitzpatrick is a 6’0″, 170 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from Indiana, Ohio, and Toledo. He has visited Michigan a couple times this season and also camped in Ann Arbor last June. (Highlights.)

Zach Gentry – QB – Albuquerque (NM) Eldorado: Gentry is a 6’6″, 215 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Louisville, New Mexico, New Mexico State, and San Diego State.

Lawrence Gordon – DE – Saginaw (MI) Arthur Hill: Gordon is a 6’5″, 230 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. He has visited Michigan a couple times and appears to be one of the top few in-state prospects for his class.

Dele Harding – LB – Elkton (MD) Eastern Christian Academy: Harding is a 6’1″, 218 lb. prospect for 2016 with offers from UMass, Tennessee, and USC. He’s a teammate of 2014 Michigan commits Freddy Canteen and Brandon Watson. He visited Ann Arbor with his teammates back in July and genuinely seemed interested in Michigan at the time those two committed, partly because Michigan’s coaches intimated to him that he would be offered down the road but felt it was too early to offer many 2016 guys.


Damien Harris – RB – Berea (KY) Madison Southern: Harris committed to Michigan in August. He is having an outstanding junior season and was recently ranked the #17 overall prospect in his class by ESPN.


Drake Harris – WR – Grand Rapids (MI) Christian: Harris committed to Michigan in April. He did not play during his senior season due to a serious hamstring injury suffered in the preseason.

Daelin Hayes – LB – Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s: Hayes is a 6’2″, 210 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. The younger brother of Michigan redshirt sophomore running back Justice Hayes, Daelin has visited Penn State and Notre Dame in recent weeks and appears enamored with those squads. The fact that his brother is mostly buried on the depth chart probably does not help.

Lavert Hill – CB – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Hill is a 5’11”, 165 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. He’s the younger brother of Michigan freshman safety Delano Hill. He has visited Michigan for most home games this year.


Justin Hilliard – LB – Cincinnati (OH) St. Xavier: Hilliard is a 6’2″, 225 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Alabama, Iowa, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others. His brother C.J. Hilliard is a 2014 commit to the Hawkeyes. I did a scouting report on Hilliard a couple weeks ago.


Elijah Holyfield – RB – Atlanta (GA) Woodward Academy: Holyfield is a 5’11”, 190 lb. prospect for 2016 with a lone offer from Boston College. As a freshman in 2012, he had 66 carries for 645 yards and 10 touchdowns. He’s the son of famed boxer Evander Holyfield. (Highlights.) UPDATE: Holyfield no longer plans to attend.


Joshua Jackson – WR – Saline (MI) Saline: Jackson is a 6’1″, 180 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. He’s the younger brother of Michigan senior wideout Jeremy Jackson and the son of running backs coach Fred Jackson.


Sterling Jenkins – OT – Pittsburgh (PA) Baldwin: Jenkins is a 6’8″, 305 lb. prospect for 2015. I did a scouting report on him a few weeks ago.


Nick Johns – QB – Washington (DC) Gonzaga: Johns is a 6’3″, 215 lb. prospect for 2015 with an offer from Virginia. He’s another on the short list of quarterbacks Michigan has been in contact with for the upcoming recruiting cycle. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, #30 pro-style QB, and #575 overall. (Highlights.)


Tyree Kinnel – S – Huber Heights (OH) Wayne: Kinnel committed to Michigan in August.


Darrin Kirkland, Jr. – LB – Indianapolis (IN) Lawrence Central: Kirkland is a 6’2″, 215 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Illinois, Indiana, Louisville, Northwestern, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, #9 ILB, and #245 overall. He also visited for the Nebraska game. (Highlights.)


Thiyo Lukusa – OT – Traverse City (MI) West: Lukusa is a 6’5″, 300 lb. prospect for 2016 with an offer from Michigan State. He has visited Michigan a couple times this season and also camped in Ann Arbor in June. (Highlights.) UPDATE: Lukusa is no longer planning to attend.

Kendric Mallory – WR – Trotwood (OH) Trotwood-Madison: Mallory is a 6’2″, 175 lb. prospect for 2014 with an offer from Illinois. He’s also the former teammate of Reon Dawson and Mike McCray.

Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph: Malone-Hatcher is a 6’3″, 205 lb. prospect for 2017 with no offers at this time.

Alex Malzone – QB – Birmingham (MI) Brother Rice: Malzone is a 6’2″, 185 lb. prospect for 2015 with an offer from Bowling Green. He’s perhaps Michigan’s top in-state quarterback target for the class, but likely a second-level option if other national targets don’t pan out. (Highlights.)


Lawrence Marshall – DE – Southfield (MI) Southfield: Marshall committed to Michigan in May. Earlier in the spring, he had been committed to Ohio State.


Jalen Martin – WR – Harper Woods (MI) Chandler Park Academy: Martin is a 6’2″, 180 lb. prospect for 2016 with a lone offer from Eastern Michigan. He attends the alma mater of Michigan freshman wide receiver Csont’e York.


Ostell Martin – OT – Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Martin is a 6’5″, 315 lb. prospect for 2016 with no offers at this time. He visited Michigan’s campus a couple times back in the spring.


Malik McDowell – DE – Southfield (MI) Southfield: McDowell is a 6’7″, 290 lb. prospect for 2014 with offers from all over the country.

Tanner Muse – LB – Belmont (NC) South Point: Muse is a 6’3″, 207 lb. prospect for 2015 with offers from Clemson, Michigan, North Carolina, and North Carolina State, among others.
