One player that Michigan has been in strong pursuit of for more than a year now is 2021 East Lansing (MI) three-star wide receiver Andrel Anthony.

Blessed To Be In This Position… Top 10 🙏🏽

There are some solid programs outside of local MSU that Michigan has to beat out, however. His list includes Penn State, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Purdue, West Virginia, Indiana, Arkansas and Minnesota as competitors for his services.
It’ll be a tough climb, but the Wolverines have put themselves in good position for one of their top targets in 2021.
