High Priorities:  Defensive Secondary: One of the most important position groups to focus on in this cycle. Michigan only signed two DB's last year, so there could be as many as six DB prospects taken in this round of recruiting. It's a good thing that there are a lot of quality prospects in play here and it's even better than some of them are already committed.  Will Johnson 5-Star (Gross Pointe, MI) Grade: 98 - COMMITTED The 2022 recruiting class is loaded with top-notch prospects at corner. Johnson is by all measures a top 15 overall recruit and being that he is an in-state legacy prospect, one couldn't find a bigger "must-get" player in any cycle. Wherever he goes he should immediately be competing for playing time and he has the raw skills to become a shutdown player at the next level. He is the number one player on Michigan's board, period.  Chace Biddle 4-Star (Garland, TX) Grade: 86 - Is a big name out of Texas that is high on the Michigan bo...

 Top 25 Tiered Team Recruiting Rankings Tier One - "The Elite" (Rank and Score) 1. Alabama 88 - The highest rated class ever! Enough said. They got everything.  2. Ohio State 83 - One of the best classes the Buckeyes have ever put together. They alone possess 12% of the top 100 players in the 247 composite rankings.  Tier Two 3 (tie). Georgia 79 - Trail only 'Bama and OSU in the number of 5-Star players they signed. 3 (tie). LSU 79 - Two 5-Sta r players and at least 15 others in the 4-Star realm would make this the top class in some years. 3 (tie). Oregon 79 - The Ducks could be making some moves towards the playoffs with three consecutive Top 10 (or 11 depending on who you ask) recruiting classes. 83% of the entire class is made up 4-Star caliber players.  6. Clemson 78 - The Tigers are reloading again. The one position they arguably didn't reload at is quarterback. They should be fine though, as the coaching staff has done more with less in the past.  7 (ti...

 Quarterback  J.J. McCarthy  5-Star  (6'3"/190lbs) Grade: 92 - Not the biggest kid or the passer with the strongest arm. He's just the best QB prospect that Harbaugh has brought to Michigan so far, and he is enrolled early to learn the offense this spring. Positional Grade: A- Running Back Donovan Edwards 5 -Star  (5'11"/190lbs) Grade: 92 - Not only did Harbaugh sign the best quarterback of his Michigan head coaching career but he also signed the best running back so far too. Edwards brings a ton of speed to the table and can take it to the house on any given play. He was just awarded First Team All-American by Max Preps will get reps as a freshman after enrolling early too. Tavierre Dunlap  4-Star  (6'0"/195lbs) Grade: 79 - A very solid back that could compliment Edwards well. He is a bit bigger and has some decent wheels in his own right, though he is not as fast as Edwards. He could be a starter someday too. He too is enrolled early. Positional ...
