‘This will be changed’ – Michigan commits predict role reversal vs. Ohio State

Two incoming Wolverines intimate that they won’t have the same issues as their predecessors in trying to beat Ohio State.

Given Michigan’s trouble going back to 2004 and forward against Ohio State, it’s a bold thing for incoming players to shoot their shot verbally and guarantee future victories over the Buckeyes.

But that’s precisely what two commits are doing.

Taking to Twitter and posting a graphic that shows the imbalance in the rivalry — Michigan has won but one game in the past 10 years in 2011 (actually, that’s the sole victory since the win in 2003) — Clayton (OH) Northmont three-star wide receiver Markus Allen feels confident that things will look different for the maize and blue vs. the scarlet and grey in the future. He added to the graphic ‘this will be changed,’ indicating that he expects a reversal of fortunes between the two storied programs.

While it makes sense for a student-athlete from Ohio to hold animosity towards the Buckeyes, it wasn’t just Allen who posted the graphic with a little bit of fortune-telling involved.

Cristian Dixon is a four-star wideout from the storied Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei program, and he had some words of his own to go along with the same graphic, noting ‘remember I posted this.’

Naturally, if Michigan doesn’t turn the tide in the coming years, it won’t just be Ohio State fans who will remember, but so, too, will the maize and blue faithful.

Regardless, it continues to be an uphill battle against the Buckeyes in recent years. The Wolverines’ commanding lead in the all-time record has all but evaporated, with Michigan holding just a seven-game advantage now at 58-51-6. Long runs aren’t unheard of in The Game — when OSU had Jon Cooper at the helm, the Buckeyes went 2-10-1 in 13 years — but this recent span has seen Michigan go 1-15 against Ohio State.

The aforementioned two aren’t the only current Michigan commits who have had something to say about their future rival. Incoming offensive tackle Tristan Bounds appeared on E.J. Holland’s podcast in June and stated his thoughts on his turn in the series once he gets his chance.

“After I take a couple days to take it in and realize what I really just did, and that’s commit to one of the best universities in the country as well as a football powerhouse, I’m definitely going to get on the recruiting trail hard,” Bounds said on The Wolverine Podcast. “I’ve been pretty adamant about this. I don’t want to lose any games. I want to win national championships. I want to kick the [expletive deleted] out of Ohio State. Those are my goals. The best class that we can get is going to help us do that.”

Currently, Ohio State is fielding the top-rated class in the 2021 recruiting cycle, with four five-stars, 12 four-stars and three three-stars. Michigan is rated No. 9 with 20 commits, including one five-star, 10 four-stars and nine three-stars.

Make it eleven for Michigan.

On Tuesday, the Wolverines garnered yet another commitment, one that’s been a long time coming at that, and from the state of Ohio.

2021 Clayton (OH) Northmont wide receiver Markus Allen is rated the No. 494 prospect in the country, regardless of position according to the 247Sports Composite, the 83rd-best WR and No. 20 player in the state of Ohio.

Long considered a Michigan lean, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound wideout ended his recruitment, committing to the maize and blue over offers from MSU, Kentucky, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

He is the eleventh commitment for the Wolverines in 2021, as Michigan maintains the No. 10 class nationally.

3-Star WR Markus Allen lists Michigan State Football in his top 10 choices

3-Star Ohio WR Markus Allen lists Michigan State football as one of his top 10 choices today. Read more details about this high school WR.

Michigan State football recruiting is in full swing right now thanks to new coach Mel Tucker. Now, 3-Star WR Markus Allen lists Michigan State in his top 10 choices. Markus Allen graduates from Xenia High School in 2021. Allen stands at 6’2″ and weighs 190-pounds. Note, he broke the Xenia High School record for most touchdowns in a season.

In his High School career, Allen tallied up 51 receptions, 1,099 yards, and 15 touchdowns. Markus Allen listed other Big Ten teams including Purdue, Wisconsin, and Michigan in his top ten choices. So he might just end up on a rival Big Ten team if not Michigan State. He also listed Pittsburgh in his top ten, which means Patt Narduzzi just might land an impressive Ohio WR.

We will continue to provide more recruiting news as it drops here at SpartansWire.

Michigan makes top ten for 2021 three-star WR

The Wolverines made the cut for the 3-star wideout, but there are a lot of other top teams in pursuit.

It wasn’t that long ago that Clayton (OH) Northmont three-star wide receiver Markus Allen got his Michigan offer. As a matter of fact, it was just over a month ago on Feb. 6.

But, he certainly holds the Wolverines in high regards.

While he’s rated a three-star, Allen has been under-evaluated at this point, as he doesn’t hold an actual numeric ranking from any of the recruiting services at this time. But, clearly he’s a talent, as 21 reported offers, including from some big time programs.

Allen took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce his current top ten (though he admits, his recruitment is still open). And Michigan made the cut.

Michigan will have to contend with four other Big Ten teams, three ACC squads and one American Conference and Big 12 team, as Allen also added Wisconsin, MSU, Indiana and Purdue; Pitt, Virginia and Wake Forest; and Cincinnati and Kansas to round out his top ten.
