The Wolverines’ 2023 recruiting class may be getting some help in the near future.
While it was starting to look like Michigan State was in the sole lead for the Colleyville (TX) Covenant Christian Academy defensive lineman Enow Etta, things appear to be trending towards the Wolverines.
On Wednesday, there were two crystal balls put in for Michigan by 247Sports Director of Football Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong — who gave the Wolverines a six confidence out of 10 — and Steve Lorenz with the Michigan Insider also gave the maize and blue a six confidence prediction.
Michigan also got two FutureCast predictions on Rivals. Both Josh Henschke and Davis Moseley put predictions out that the Wolverines will land Etta — who had three FutureCasts to Michigan State prior.
Etta is a six-foot-four 260lbs defensive lineman and he is scheduled to visit Michigan on Friday, July 17. The 247Sports Composite rankings have the four-star Etta as the 124th ranked recruit in the nation and the 19th ranked defensive lineman.
During his junior season of high school, Etta recorded 124 total tackles, 41 tackles-for-loss, and had 22.5 sacks. Etta was named first-team All-State as a junior.
In the 2023 cycle, Michigan currently has six commits and 247 Sports Composite rankings has the Wolverines as the 38th-best class in the country. Landing someone like Etta would surely boost Michigan up the list.
According to 247Sports Etta is showing interest in Michigan State, Stanford, and Utah to go along with Michigan and he has 30 total offers.
