Many of you that follow the Wolverines know that this weekend 5 star recruit William Campbell de-committed. William is a 5 star defensive tackle and rated #17 by Rivals overall. William plays at Detroit Cass Tech and is 6-foot, 5-inch, 317-pounds.
This news does not come as a big surprise since he has always said he wanted to take a few trips and see what is out there. His top 3 schools show Michigan, USC, and Miami. He already has an official set up with Miami and he took an un-official to Michigan on Saturday for the game against the Redhawks.
A reason to worry: All 17 year old kids second guess themselves and wonder what it might be like to play for USC or Miami in a warm climate. It's never good to give Pete Carroll at shot at your recruits. Nick Perry from last year is a perfect example. Except Nick didn't qualify and his spot at USC is now very much in question. (Nick wouldn't have qualified at Michigan either)
Reasons not to worry:
- Cass Tech is coached by former Wolverine running back Thomas Wilcher
- William's teammate from last year Boubacar Cissoko is on Michigan's roster
- William's current teammate Teric Jones has verbally committed to Michigan next year
- This just in: Thomas Gordon from Cass Tech (athlete - most likely will play Safety or CB in college), who has publicly said he wanted a Michigan offer, just received one.
- William has always said he was going to take some official visits but will end up at Michigan
So to net it out, I think this is a kid that would like to see Miami Beach and LA before he makes his official commitment. He also plans on graduating early and enrolling in January. Like I said, it's never good to give Pete a shot at one of your recruits, but I believe William will want his family to see him play every home game in Ann Arbor.
