Recruitment
Sporting a Michigan offer since Jan. 2018, Morant also had offers from big time programs such as Ohio State, Penn State, Florida, Auburn, Texas A&M, Notre Dame and LSU.
At one time rated the top safety in the country, Morant did a slew of visits in the spring, visiting Ann Arbor, Columbus and South Bend, but was a part of the big official visit weekend in late-June. While he contended at the time that he wouldn’t make his college choice until the All-American Bowl in Jan. 2020, after the visit to Ann Arbor, he quickly rescinded that notion, pledging to the Wolverines as he departed campus on June 23.
There was some concern if Michigan could hold onto him momentarily, as he made an official visit to Texas A&M in September and USC in November. However, he visited Ann Arbor again twice unofficially, for the Ohio State game and again the weekend before Early Signing Day for the Michigan – Oregon basketball game.
Readiness Level
While he could require a year to acclimate, especially given the depth ahead of him, he could work his way into the depth chart in year one. Is likely to be a year two/three contributor and eventual starter.
