ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan recruiting might be quiet lately, but Saturday’s guest list certainly wasn’t of the quiet variety.

Several Michigan commits, top targets and prospects made their way to campus to take in the Wolverines stunning 44-10 beatdown of Michigan State at the Big House.

Naturally, the biggest name on deck was four-star tight end Theo Johnson, who hails from Windsor (ONT) Holy Names, and has been a frequent visitor to campus. Johnson will be making a decision soon, and it looks to be a Michigan – Penn State battle for his services.

But there were a handful of 2021 four-stars on-hand, to go along with 2020 commits Roman Wilson, Blake Corum and Braiden McGregor (not pictured) as well as 2021 commit Giovanni El-Hadi. Among the four-stars included local names such as Rocco Spindler and Garrett Dellinger — both from Clarkston (MI) — and Ohio product A.J. Kirk Jr. and Indiana TE Rodney McGraw.

WolverinesWire was on the scene to capture some of the prospects who made it to town for the game.
