Maxwell Hairston is seeing recruits commit left and right during the dead period.

The three-star 2021 cornerback from West Bloomfield (Mich.) High now faces an interesting predicament — commit and secure a spot now or wait for bigger and better offers.

After all, Hairston is a tall, lengthy corner with the potential to blow up towards the end of the recruiting process.

“Recruiting has been going good,” Hairston said. “I just got some new offers. Right now, I’m just really narrowing down my list. I want to commit on August 6, which is my birthday. But if I have to push it back, I have no problem with that. I’m just trying to focus on a few schools.

“But I’ve been talking to Baylor, Oregon and Michigan. I’m trying to see what they’re going to do. I’m also trying to stay patient.”
