Michigan Monday: A Few Recruiting Updates

There was a pretty large Rivals combine in Chicago called the 5 Star Challenge over the weekend and there was some positive news coming out of it for the Wolverines.  One reason for the positive news is Michigan's' #1 recruiter Michael Ferns was in attendance and put his sites on the likes of JuJu Smith, Adoree Jackson, Leonard Fournette, Da'Shawn Hand and Malik McDowell.

  • McDowell said his top 4 are Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State.  He is planning visits to Florida, FSU and USC.   He said if he had to pick a leader it would be local school U of M. 

  • There was some buzz from the Rivals event that Leonard Fournette is planning a visit to Ann Arbor.  If your not familiar with that name, Fournette is the #1 RB in the nation and #3 overall player to Rivals to ESPN he is the #1 player in the nation.  Yes, please take a visit.

  • It's now clear that Michigan is looking for one more LB in the 2014 class.  Ferns was also working LB Dwight Williams, who now wants to take a visit to Ann Arbor.  DW is teammates with Adoree Jackson and a 4 star prospect.  He is rated the #4 outside LB in the country.

Here is a video from the event for your viewing pleasure.
