56 miles from where Michigan’s emerging wide receiver Giles Jackson went to high school in Oakley, California, there’s a four-star athlete that Jackson has constantly been working to lure to join him in Ann Arbor.

Back in March, 2021 Elk Grove (CA) Monterey Trail four-star running back Prophet Brown put Michigan in his top six — along with Nebraska, Oregon, Oklahoma, USC and Notre Dame — and Jackson frequently took to Twitter, oftentimes just quote-tweeting or tweeting directly at Brown saying ‘Hi @ProphetPb.’ It was a tactic he used with a fellow Californian in wideout Xavier Worthy, who seemed destined to pledge to Oregon. However, last week, he chose the Wolverines as his future team.

Could Jackson be two-for-two when it comes to persuading players from the Golden State?

We’ll know shortly enough, as Brown announced on Twitter that he’s committing in a matter of days, as he plans to make his pledge on July 20.

According to 247Sports’ proprietary rankings, Brown is rated as the No. 127 player in the country, regardless of position. He’s also the 10th-best corner and No. 11 player in the state of California.

However, there are currently three 247Sports Crystal Balls in for Brown, all indicating that he’s likely to end up in Norman, Oklahoma. Still, with Jackson and Michigan RB coach Jay Harbaugh on the case as his primary recruiter — especially considering the recent commitment of the aforementioned Worthy — July 20 at 1 p.m. PST will certainly be a time to tune in and see what happens on that front.

At the high school level, Brown plays corner, running back and wide receiver, and runs a reported 10.9 100-meter dash, just a hair slower than Worthy — who is considered to be something of a speedster at the wideout position.

And, in case you were wondering, at the news that Brown in nearing a decision, Jackson has already said his piece on Twitter:
