Michigan football has had mixed fortunes in recruiting of late, and it’s hoping things will turn around in short order.
On Wednesday, the Wolverines managed to get four-star linebacker Jeremiah Beasley in the fold, but they’re trending away with offensive tackle Michael Uini, who appeared to be a silent commitment, as well as defensive tackle Deyvid Palepale, and are waiting on a handful of top targets to announce soon — such as Cincinnati, Ohio-based cornerback Teryhon Nichols and Springfield, Ohio’s Aaron Scott.
In the meantime, a big target who visited Ann Arbor in recent weeks is set to make his decision, as Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star safety Jordon Johnson-Rubell announced he’ll be choosing between Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, and TCU on Saturday, July 1.
ANNOUNCEMENT!!! I’ll be committing this Saturday live on @Rivals on YouTube 2:00 CT.

Johnson-Rubell is listed as the No. 133 prospect nationally per the 247Sports Composite. While the Wolverines did seem to make some solid movement in his recruitment, currently Texas is considered the favorite with four 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions.
