While all eyes are on the 2020 NFL Draft, the Wolverines are continuing to bolster the roster in the form of recruiting.

The secondary has been a quiet focal point in 2021, with several targets in play, such as Duce Chestnut, Tyreek Chappell and Kamonte Grimes. But for its tenth commitment of 2021, Michigan went down south to a powerhouse high school football program in Ft. Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas and pulled an emerging three-star prospect to the north.

Announcing on Twitter that he’s pledging to the maize and blue, three-star cornerback Ja’Den McBurrows — No. 580 overall according to the 247Sports Composite — chose the Wolverines over offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Penn State and Florida State.

The commitment moves Michigan up to the No. 10 spot ahead of Georgia in the 247Sports team rankings.
