Deuce McGuire is one of the fastest rising prospects in the Midwest.

The 2022 offensive lineman out of Chicago (Ill.) Marist holds close to 20 offers and is hearing from more top-level programs.

“I wouldn’t say COVID-19 helped with recruiting,” McGuire said. “Schools not being able to come out and see us was tough. But I think I still did well with my recruitment through COVID-19. Recently, I’ve been talking to Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Northwestern.”

Right now, McGuire has scholarships in hand from Arizona State, Cal, Kentucky, Michigan State, Oregon, Tennessee and others.

As McGuire mentioned, he is starting to garner some interest from Michigan. In fact, McGuire has spoken to U-M offensive line coach Ed Warinner on multiple occasions, and the two recently had a 40-minute Zoom call.
