Michigan Football Recruiting: The Daily Rewind
Here's a look back at some Michigan related recruiting nuggets from throughout the day.
Michigan Commit Cameron McGrone Getting Ready For 'The Game'
Indianapolis Lawrence Central four-star outside linebacker and Michigan commit Cameron McGrone is as solid as one can be to U-M but at one time he was a coveted recruit and did take trips to Ohio State. Now that he's a Michigan Man, he's putting a message out to his followers on Twitter in the spirt of "The Game".
McGrone, the No. 18 outside linebacker and No. 238 overall prospect nationally, will sign his letter of intent in about a month but will enroll traditionally next June at Michigan.
Four-Star Wide Receiver Michael Ezeike Commits To Oregon
Michigan offered Ontario (Calif.) Colony four-star wide receiver/tight end Michael Ezeike earlier this year and immediately became a player for his services. Not long after being offered, the 6-5, 210-pounder started saying that he wanted to take an official visit to Ann Arbor and it was supposed to take place this weekend. Earlier today, the No. 47 wide receiver in the country committed to Willie Taggart and the Oregon Ducks.
The Michigan staff likely knew that things weren't going to work out with Ezeike based on October offers to Metairie (La.) Rummel four-star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills three-star wide receiver Chris Olave. The Wolverines are also in the top two along with West Virginia for Lorton (Va.) South County three-star wide receiver Dillon Spalding who will likely make his college decision next month before signing early.
Several Michigan Commits Still Alive In The Post Season
Ten future Wolverines are still chasing state championships. Buford (Ga.) High three-star running back Christian Turner, Missouri City (Texas) Ridge Point four-star tight end Mustapha Muhammad, Grand Rapids (Mich.) Catholic Central three-star offensive tackle Jalen Mayfield, Akron (Ohio) Hoban four-star offensive guard Nolan Rumler, Louisville (Ky.) Trinity four-star weakside defensive end Stephen Herron, Norcross (Ga.) Greater Atlanta Christian five-star strongside defensive end Christopher Hinton, Leesburg (Ga.) Lee County four-star outside linebacker Otis Reese, Naples (Fla.) High three-star cornerback Sammy Faustin and DeSoto (Texas) High four-star cornerback Gemon Green and his twin brother, three-star safety German Green, are all still pursuing a trophy.
It's also worth noting that Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy three-star outside linebacker Charles Thomas, Washington D.C. St. John's College High three-star pro-style quarterback Kevin Doyle and Hamden (Conn.) Hamden Hall Country Day School three-star tight end Luke Schoonmaker don't play in traditional state playoffs but still ended on high notes. Thomas and IMG finished 9-0, Doyle and SJC won a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship, and Schoonmaker and HHCDS won their bowl game to end the season with just one loss.
