Michigan got big news on Sunday afternoon when 2021 Brentwood (TN) Ravenwood four-star linebacker Junior Colson pledged his verbal commitment to the Wolverines.
Colson instantly became Michigan’s highest-rated defensive commit of the 2021 class, having chose the maize and blue over in-state Tennessee, LSU, Ole Miss and Oregon. In Ann Arbor, Colson will play the specialized VIPER position, as popularized by his predecessors Jabrill Peppers and Khaleke Hudson in Don Brown’s defense.
A bevy of current commits, recruits, coaching staff and media took to Twitter to react to the news. WolverinesWire compiled the instant reaction for your perusal.

Junior Colson is a former wide receiver, really athletic and really versatile – can rush the passer, outstanding in coverage. Will play the viper position for Michigan and seems like a perfect fit. pic.twitter.com/11JmZafJIK

After adding four-star LB Junior Colson, Michigan’s 2021 football recruiting class moves up two spots to No. 8 in the 247Sports team rankings.
With a handful of top targets still on the board, this group could become one of Harbaugh’s best yet.
