Currently, Michigan has a pair of defensive backs committed to the 2021 class in cornerback Ja’Den McBurrows from Fort Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas and safety Rod Moore from Clayton (OH) Northmont. The Wolverines were hoping a third would come in the form of Reisertown (MD) Franklin four-star safety Daymon David.

While things were looking good for the maize and blue and the nation’s No. 195 player, regardless of position, according to 247Sports, they appeared to be waning in favor of a Pac-12 power.

Turns out, that is the case, as David officially made his commitment on Friday afternoon, and the Wolverines are out and the Ducks are in.

David committed to Mario Cristobal and Oregon via Twitter on Friday.

To finish out the 2021 class, Michigan will continue to work on Oak Park (MI) defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny and West Bloomfield (MI) Donovan Edwards — a pair that goes head-to-head on Friday night in the state of Michigan season opener — along with Jersey City (NJ) St. Peter’s Prep four-star defensive tackle George Rooks, Los Angeles (CA) Loyola cornerback Ceyair Wright and Florida State CB commitment Omarion Cooper.

Bob Shoop was Michigan’s primary recruiter for David.
