Michigan has been doubling down on recruits lately and today was no exception with 2 new Wolverines soon to be in the fold.
Verbal #1 comes from a 6'4 210ish pound TE from Farmington Hills Harrison, Devin Funchess who has visited Michigan a number of times the last month or so. Harrison has a number of D1 prospects this year and is known as a MSU feeder school. Devin is on record saying he will recruit his teammates (Mario Ojemudia and Aaron Bubridge) to Ann Arbor. If I had to guess Devin is pretty close guaranteed a redshirt as he gains some weight for a TE in the Big Ten. This kid is an athlete with a nice frame which equals the high upside label. He looks more like a WR in the video below.
Devin is a 4 star recruit to Scouts and 24/7 and has a nice offer list that includes Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, and Virginia. If you would like more details on Devin, check out Mgoblog profile here.
Recruit #2 is AJ Williams from Cincinnati, Ohio. AJ is a big fella at 6'6 260 pounds and could be considered a TE or offensive line prospect. Coach Hoke likes the idea of a blocking TE so maybe he could fit that role as well.
AJ is a three star recruit to Scouts and not rated on Rivals or 24/7. He does have a nice offer sheet that includes WVU, BC, MSU, Vandy, NC State, Arkansas, Louisville, Illinois, and Indiana.
There is a lot of videos of AJ Williams on You Tube but none (I could find) for this AJ Williams.
This would seem the end of Michigan's TE recruitment for 2012 if (AJ is considered a TE). Which leaves the question mark about Ron Thompson who has seemed to been on the verge of a commitment to the Wolverines for some time. Would Michigan take 3? The answer is probably yes if they consider AJ more offensive lineman then TE. Then again maybe Devin is more WR then TE.
