Well, now we know the recent visit was successful.
Michigan football got the first visit for 2022 Cordova (TN) St. Benedict of Auburndale five-star defensive tackle Walter Nolen, currently rated as the No. 2 prospect, regardless of position, by the 247Sports Composite. Nolen made his way to Ann Arbor and Detroit last weekend, in what could be a pivotal visit given his offer sheet, a veritable who’s who of top programs across college football.
While there’s still a lot of heavy lifting to be done for Jim Harbaugh & co., the first step appears to have been a successful one. Nolen released his top eight schools on Friday and the Wolverines were among them.

Of course, however, so is LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Ohio State and USC. There’s still a long way to go to secure the rights for the enigmatic defensive tackle, but it’s a solid first step in the right direction.
