Into The Blue is a weekly Michigan football recruiting scoop piece from The Wolverine. Expect significant intel from insider EJ Holland.

Read this week's edition below.

*** Despite the departure of Maurice Linguist, Michigan has continued to make a push for high level recruits in the state of Texas. Linguist, of course, was a Dallas-area native and gave the Wolverines a direct link to the Lone Star State, which is obviously ripe with Division I talent. Still, Michigan feels like it can pull a couple of Texans each cycle just like it did last year with Ike Iwunnah and Tavierre Dunlap. In fact, Michigan extended a trio of offers in Texas shortly after Linguist announced his move to Buffalo. Again, Texas is going to remain a key recruiting state for the Wolverines.
