What might Michigan’s 2017 class look like?


February 2, 2016
Donovan Peoples-Jones 617x

Detroit (MI) Cass Tech WR Donovan Peoples-Jones

According to the 2016 Scholarship Count (LINK), Michigan will lose 22 seniors after the 2016 season is over. We can probably comfortably add three players to that total who will transfer, get injured, or not have a fifth year granted. So here’s a look at some very possible members of the 2017 class. (Note that a lot of offers will still go out, so this is extremely early.)

  1. QB Dylan McCaffrey (CO)
  2. RB D’Andre Swift (PA)
  3. RB Kurt Taylor (GA)*
  4. WR Jeremiah Holloman (GA) *
  5. WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (MI)
  6. OL Ja’Raymond Hall (MI)*
  7. OL Jordan Reid (MI)
  8. OL Cesar Ruiz (FL)
  9. OL Tedarrell Slaton (FL)
  10. OL Isaiah Wilson (NY)
  11. TE Carter Dunaway (MI)*
  12. TE Jimmy Jaggers (CA)
  13. DE Corey Malone-Hatcher (MI)
  14. DE TBD
  15. DT Fred Hansard (NJ)
  16. DT Dalyn Wade-Perry (NJ)
  17. LB Jaquan Henderson (GA)
  18. LB Joshua Ross (MI)
  19. LB Drew Singleton (NJ)
  20. CB Trajan Bandy (FL)
  21. CB Benjamin St-Juste (Quebec)*
  22. S Jaylen Kelly-Powell (MI)
  23. S Scott Nelson (MI)
  24. ATH Bo Melton (NJ)
  25. ATH Allen Stritzinger (MI)

*Already committed to Michigan

Michigan’s class will not fill out this way. I have no illusions that I can be anywhere close to accurate approximately 365 days out. But it’s fun to think about if you’re a recruiting nut. Here’s the 2017 Offer Board for a reference point (LINK).

Who do you think is likely or should be added for the 2017 class?

    Isaiah Wilson? Number 16 player in the nation and the number 5 OT. 6’7″ 322 and a mauler. Make everyone forget Devery Hamilton ever even existed.

      Actually, the tackles really are good this coming year and there are a bunch of them, 33 with a rating that begins with a 9 on 247. The top five with the exception of Austin Jackson are all really big or really mobile … actually both. Jackson is being promoted as a DE, so I’m not sure about how 247 decides he’s an OT.

    Jimmy Jagger goes to my kids’ HS. In fact, my youngest son is a Freshman who has drawn a lot of comparisons to Jaggers out here.
