Louisville (Ky.) Trinity four-star weakside defensive end Stephen Herron announced via Twitter that he committed to Michigan earlier tonight.
The 6-4, 225-pound Herron was high on Michigan throughout his process but many folks saw Ohio State and Stanford as two of his top contenders. After spending the day in Ann Arbor for Michigan's BBQ at The Big House, he decided that the Cardinal and Buckeyes could not keep pace with the Wolverines.
Along with Michigan, Ohio State and Stanford, Herron also held offers from Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas among others, but the Wolverines won out. As a great student, Herron admitted that he was waiting on a Stanford offer but even once it came, Michigan proved to be too much to turn down.
Michigan now has three commitments in the 2019 class after Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy three-star outside linebacker Charles Thomas committed in June and Akron (Ohio) Hoban four-star offensive guard Nolan Rumler committed just a few hours before Herron.
