The Big Ten announced revisions to the 2022 football schedule on Wednesday (Jan. 12) for all 14 teams in the conference, including two noticeable changes for the Michigan Wolverines.

The All-American Bowl took notice and named the 6-foot-, 195-pound safety the Defensive Player of the Year on Friday. The announcement came leading up to Saturday’s All-American Bowl, an annual high school all-star game in San Antonio, Texas that features many of the nation’s top recruits. Berry is one of four Michigan recruits selected for the All-American Bowl, but only one is slated to play Saturday. three-star quarterback Jayden Denegal was a late add to the All-American Bowl and will suit up for Team East on Saturday. One of the Wolverines’ top remaining targets this cycle, Seattle Rainer Beach five-star offensive tackle Josh Conerly, also is participating in the All-American Bowl.

After a recruiting surge for Michigan’s football program in June and early July, momentum has slowed in recent weeks. Michigan currently boasts a top-heavy class this cycle, highlighted by two top-90 prospects and one more ranked inside the top 300. Today, let’s take a look at the team’s top three commits this cycle and what they can bring to Michigan. 11 overall nationally, he is Michigan’s highest-ranked cornerback recruit since at least 2000 and the top-ranked recruit overall since Rashan Gary in 2016. He will bring versatility to the front seven with the ability to play defensive end in a 4-3 and outside linebacker in a 3-4, which likely will become Michigan’s base defense under new coordinator Mike Macdonald.

The busy recruiting month resulted in five new commitments for Michigan, giving it 12 in the 2022 class. Michigan’s average rating dipped with the five newest pledges as four rank outside the top 500 nationally, per 247Sports’ Composite. His recruitment picked up this summer once he was able to work out in front of teams, notching offers from Georgia, Penn State, Michigan State and others. However, Henry displayed his ability to rush the passer and garnered several offers since then, including USC, Oregon Arizona State, Michigan and Utah. He holds 15 offers, including Michigan State and Penn State.

football coach Tim Racki knew four-star receiver Tyler Morris was a special talent even before he played one high school snap. Morris, who was heading into his freshman year, appeared to have an obstructed path to making the varsity team. Not only did Morris make the team, but he earned a starting job, helping Nazareth win the state title that season. “I don’t think any other player in Illinois could have done that except Tyler, because we were loaded already without Tyler,” Racki told MLive in a phone interview. However, he said the talented wideout handled the pandemic as well as any high school athlete could have.

Michigan’s football program added a top-100 prospect to its 2022 recruiting class on Tuesday. Nazareth Academy four-star receiver Tyler Morris announced his commitment to the Wolverines in a post on Twitter. “I would like to start by thanking my parents and family for their support and guidance to help me become the person that I am today,” Morris wrote. The 6-foot, 175-pound Morris chose Michigan over other top schools Notre Dame, Penn State, Northwestern and Missouri. The Wolverines’ class, which now has seven verbal pledges, ranks No.

One of Michigan’s top prospects in that cycle is four-star receiver Tyler Morris from Nazareth Academy in Illinois. Possibly the top factor working in Michigan’s favor is Morris’ relationship with Wolverines 2020 five-star quarterback signee J.J. McCarthy. “I’ve known him since I was like 13 or 14, something like that,” Morris told the Michigan Insider. “Then a decision, probably say sometime during the summer.”THE MICHIGAN NEED: Michigan currently has five pledges in the 2022 class but none from receivers. It signed three in the 2021 class: four-star Xavier Worthy, four-star Cristian Dixon and three-star Andrel Anthony.

All four of 247Sports' current Crystal Ball predictions are in favor of the Wolverines, including Marich’s. “He’s a top guy that Michigan’s been on for a long time,” Marich said on MLive’s Wolverine Confidential podcast recently. There are no Crystal Ball predictions in for Johnson yet. All five 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions are in favor of the Wolverines. All three Crystal Ball predictions are in favor of the Wolverines.
