(Bishop McNamara)Įdokpayi had a late-developing recruitment and ended up as the highest-rated defensive player in Michigan’s class.

Jim Harbaugh loves competitive quarterbacks, and he found one in Davis. Other quarterbacks might have bigger arms, but Davis puts the ball where it needs to go and processes the game at an elite level. Linebacker seems like his likely fit at Michigan, though his versatility will give him multiple paths to playing time. He’s listed as an athlete by 247Sports and could be anything from an edge rusher to a big safety. (Ensworth)Ĭurtis committed in June 2022 and had a low-maintenance recruitment. Things never quite clicked for Welschof, but maybe they will for Beigel. (Rosemary Choate)īeigel will inspire comparisons to Julius Welschof, another German-born prospect with tantalizing potential. He’s not the biggest player for his position, but he’s an excellent all-around athlete with great feel for the game. (Belleville)īeasley is a hard-hitting linebacker who also played running back for Belleville, one of the most talent-rich programs in the state.

That’s Baxter, who has the frame to get bigger without sacrificing his quick first step. (Gwynn Park)Īn edge rusher who’s athletic enough to play wide receiver is going to turn some heads. Here are some highlights of new Michigan LB Jaishawn Barham. With Michael Barrett out of eligibility and Junior Colson expected to consider the NFL, Barham could have a role right away at inside linebacker.

He can cover a lot of ground and gets to the quarterback in a hurry as a rusher. Barham is an explosive athlete who had 95 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks in two seasons at Maryland.

This is the equivalent of getting a high-end four-star prospect with two years of development and proven production in the Big Ten. Here’s a thought on each of the players who signed or committed Wednesday.
