Michigan was hoping to get some good news on Monday in terms of the recruitment of one of its highest priorities in the 2021 class, and it looks like the Wolverines got it.

The maize and blue have been in high pursuit of speedy 2021 Fresno (CA) Central East four-star wide receiver Xavier Worthy, a player that’s not only been drawing the attention of the coaches, but many of the current players who have persistently made Twitter pitches for him to come to Ann Arbor. A player who runs a 10.55 100-meter dash, Worthy is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 141 prospect in the country and the 24th-best wide receiver in the class.

And on Monday, Worthy placed Michigan in his top six.

However, his top six is a who’s who of elite programs. He also includes Alabama, LSU, Oregon, Georgia and Auburn to be in his final mix.

Josh Gattis is leading the charge for Michigan in his recruitment.
