Michigan football received two late Monday commitments from Arkansas defensive back brothers TJ and Tevis Metcalf. But the fun continues into the night, as the Wolverines are still rolling in the transfer portal.
Though not well known as a recruit, when Cal Poly offensive lineman Brady Norton entered the transfer portal, some eyes widened. Rated by PFF as the nation’s top pass-blocker in the Football Championship Subdivision, Michigan football hurried to get Norton on campus as other programs became aware of his skills. Norton was in Ann Arbor on Monday. Ohio State offered the same day, but he saw what he needed with the Wolverines and committed to the maize and blue on Monday evening.
