Michigan OL Commit Giovanni El-Hadi A Meteoric Riser In New Rivals250

Rivals.com released its new national Top 250 recruiting rankings for the 2021 class on Tuesday afternoon.

Michigan has a pair of four-star commits in La Grange Park (Ill.) Nazareth Academy quarterback JJ McCarthy and Sterling Heights (Mich.) Stevenson offensive lineman Giovanni El-Hadi, and both were featured on the list.

McCarthy moved down three spots to No. 31 overall. McCarthy, who led his team to a state title appearance, is ranked No. 5 among pro-style quarterbacks.

McCarthy has been committed to Michigan since May and has been an active vocal recruiter for the Wolverines.

While McCarthy dropped a few spots, El-Hadi was one of the biggest risers in the new rankings release.

The 6-foot-6, 285-pounder jumped up a whopping 105 spots to No. 49 overall in the country, ranking ahead of offensive linemen like Ohio State commit Donovan Jackson and top Michigan target Rocco Spindler.

El-Hadi is an athletic offensive lineman that best projects at right tackle at the next level. He has a great junior campaign, leading Stevenson to a surprise appearance in the Michigan state semifinals.

El-Hadi committed to Michigan in March of last year and is completely locked in with the Wolverines.

Following the new update, Michigan’s two 2021 verbal commits are now Top 50 recruits nationally.
