Chris Wormley seemly had Michigan as his #1 school for what seems like a year and he finally pulled the trigger today. Chris is 6'5 and 250 pounds and plays fast for his size. He is a 4 star prospect to Scouts, 24/7 and ESPN. He is 3 stars to Rivals. It seems some services think he is bit of a tweener on which position he might end up at. He is a DE prospect right now but could end up as a tackle as he adds some more weight and strength.
The recruiting insiders that cover Ohio have been high on Chris for awhile and as you know a Ohio State offer is what most kids in Ohio hope for. Chris other offers seem strange for a 4 star player of his caliber which include the likes of Indiana, Illinois, MSU, Cincinnati and Toledo. So either the other schools didn't bother to offer a guy who was either heading to Michigan or OSU or they were unsure of his position.
Either way, Chris has been high on Michigan fans wish list for a long time and it's nice to have him on board. Chris will be the last DE Michigan takes in this class, unless Washington wants to commit.
The needs still remain at DT (probably 2), 1 more offensive lineman, and a couple WR's. With this commit, Michigan has 21 guys wrapped up in this class and will take 5 more guys. So I assume the coaches will be pretty selected.
Michigan fans had hoped for 1 or 2 2013 commits today and one highly ranked 2012 DT whose name rhymes with Ripken. Still could happen but nothing yet.
- Michigan Basketball also got a commitment from Zak Irvin from Indiana who picked Michigan over the likes of Butler, IU, Tennessee and Purdue. Zak is a 6'6 small forward and a commitment to the 2013 class. Zak is pretty much a top 100 player to all the services and the third commitment to the 2013 class.
