The Michigan Wolverines made a major splash on national signing day on Wednesday when it flipped two recruits — one from a major rival — and signed three more prospects into the class of 2021.
The maize and blue were in major need of some interior line help on the defensive side of the ball, and as of last month, it appeared that Michigan wouldn’t be getting any help at all. When it was all said and done the Wolverines snagged three defensive-tackles in the likes of George Rooks, Rayshaun Benny — the major get that was previously committed to MSU — and Ikechukwu Iwuannah — the commit who flipped from Colorado. Defensive line coach Shaun Nua and newcomer Ron Bellamy had a huge hand in landing these players.
According to the 247Sports Composite ranking, the Wolverines landed the 10th-best class in the nation, and that was a big win for Michigan after the less-than-stellar season it had.
Now that spring ball is coming up next, we’re going to discuss which five new freshmen will see the most playing time in the fall.
