Michigan Football Recruiting: U-M Targeting Several From West Bloomfield
Former Michigan wide receiver Ron Bellamy is now the head coach at West Bloomfield and he has a lot of talent on his roster. Four of his Lakers hold a Michigan offer and the group will visit Ann Arbor together during the first weekend of March.
Three-star outside linebacker Lance Dixon has been on Michigan's radar longer than his three teammates and he seems to be a big-time priority for the Michigan staff. The 6-2, 193-pounder is being recruited as a Viper and appears to have the perfect skill set for the position.
Sophomore athlete Makari Paige actually picked up his offer in January and might have the highest upside of the entire foursome. The 6-1, 165-pounder excels on both sides of the ball but looks to have more potential as a defensive back. He's quick and fluid enough to play cornerback but may end up at safety or even at outside linebacker like Dixon depending on how he develops physically.
Tre Mosley also plays on both sides of the ball but at 6-2, 175 pounds he's considered a three-star wide receiver by Rivals.com. He picked up his offer earlier this month and grew up a Michigan fan. He plans to camp in Ann Arbor this summer in order to prove to the staff that he's worthy of the offer.
Sophomore inside linebacker Cornell Wheeler was offered the same day as Mosley and is likely in a similar boat. The 6-0, 215-pounder is a safe bet to camp at U-M this summer to show that he's the kind of player the staff thinks he is. As a 2020 prospect, he has a little more time to prove his worth compared to Mosley.
