The Wolverines 2020 class grew a little bit on Saturday, adding another big time playmaker in the defensive backfield.
Long has Michigan been looking to add a second corner to its 2020 class, with longtime commit-turned-signee Andre Seldon in the fold, as the first commit in the cycle all the way back in the summer of 2018. But finding a second defensive back out on the edge has taken a little bit longer.
Harbor City (CA) Narbonne four-star CB Darion Green-Warren has long been in the sights of the maize and blue, but he was a little harder to pin down. He released a top six that included USC and five midwestern/southeastern schools, indicating that he wasn’t a lock to remain in Southern California.
Though Nebraska — which often pulls recruits from Southern California — Penn State, MSU, Oklahoma and Georgia were all in the mix, Michigan always retained a shot, but it seemed like a long one since it couldn’t get Green-Warren to Ann Arbor until after the season, as he made his official visit on Dec. 6. But it turns out, that worked out for the maize and blue, as he pledged to the class during the All-American Bowl on Saturday.
According to 247Sports, Green-Warren runs a laser-timed 4.67 40-yard dash, and is ranked via 184th in the country, regardless of position, as the No. 14 cornerback and No. 19 player in the state of California.
He’s the 27th commit for Michigan, and his inclusion pushes the Wolverines from the 13th-ranked class to No. 11 in 2020.
