While much of the attention when it comes to post-high school, pre-college all-star games goes to either the All-American Bowl or the Under Armour All-America game, the Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii pulls some pretty big players in its own right.

In 2022, some big names such as Gavin Sawchuk and Josh Conerly Jr. are already committed to participate in the Polynesian Bowl, and now a Michigan football commit has joined the fray.

While he’s a somewhat under the radar recruit, California native, linebacker Kevonte Henry has committed to playing the prestigious all-star outing, joining the likes of players such as J.J. McCarthy, Roman Wilson, Jordan Morant, A.J. Henning and others who have participated in the game.

The game coincides with the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame induction and will take place on Jan. 22, 2022. It will be televised on CBS Sports.

In the past week, Michigan football has gotten a lot of its commitments in a hurry, as in, the 247Sports Crystal Balls roll in and, before long, they’re a part of the 2022 class. From LB Aaron Alexander to QB Jayden Denegal, the Wolverines have made quick work of a handful of those recruitments.

On Friday, the crystal balls started coming in for Michigan to secure the talents of Kevonte Henry, a 2022 three-star linebacker from Lawndale (CA) Leuzinger — a high school in South Central Los Angeles — who is rated as the No. 60 linebacker in the country and 44th-best player in the state of California according to 247Sports. And it took but hours for him to commit to the Wolverines.

Henry is the 11th commitment in the 2022 recruiting class for Michigan and is the second linebacker to join the fold. His other major offers include Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon and Utah.
