Michigan football gained a commitment on Monday in three-star athlete Kendrick Bell.
The Wolverines are hoping to gain another one come Oct. 23.
Charlotte (NC) Providence Day School 2023 cornerback Chris Peal will be making his commitment on Sunday. The 247Sports four-star recruit has Michigan as a finalist along with Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina State.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Peal is the 177th-ranked prospect in the country and the 21st-ranked corner in the class of 2023.
Peal took an official visit back on Sept. 16 and Steve Clinkscale has been his primary recruiter.
Here is a scouting report on Peal from Brian Dohn with 247Sports.
Has size and frame suited for cornerback. Multi-sport profile includes strong track and field numbers. Runs 100 meters in 10.75 seconds, 200 in 21.93, and has 22-3 1/2 long jump and 44-3 triple jump. Productive three-phase player. Physical corner against pass and run. Comfortable in press coverage and able to use length and quick hands to re-route receiver. Possesses solid ball skills. Willing to fight off block to gain leverage on edge and force plays inside. Strong tackler with body control to make plays in space. Reads receivers well and can change directions. Trusts strong technique at top of routes to make plays on ball. Stays on hip of receiver coming out of breaks. Loves playing tight on receiver and is physical in attacking ball. Uses length well. Shows speed to chase down play in open field. Has to continue to work on backpedal and flipping hips to run with receiver when not in press coverage. Adding upper body strength will help accentuate jamming ability. Multi-year starter at Top 20 program. Late round NFL Draft potential.
While Michigan is in the running to land Peal, it appears that Georgia may have the upper hand. There are four Crystal Ball predictions for the Bulldogs on 247Sports.
But the Wolverines still have a few days to seal the deal for Peal.
