It's the second straight day Michigan has landed a four-star offensive skill player. Four-star receiver A.J. Henning announced his commitment to the Wolverines on Wednesday.
Since Michigan's massive recruiting weekend ended four days ago, nine players have committed to the 2020 class -- five four-stars and four three-stars.
Michigan has the No. 7 recruiting class in the country, with eight four-stars and 11 three-stars currently committed. It's the No. 1 class in the Big Ten, just barely ahead of Ohio State.
