Ohio State made the cut for a four-star safety and played host to a handful of prospects for the first summer camp, including one who left with a scholarship offer.
[If you're here for the Alan Bowman news, scroll down] I don’t need to tell you how much Michigan needs an instant-impact, five-star cornerback. Doubly so if he’s in-state. Triply if he’s the son of a football alum. Quadropoly if he’s intent on being a JJ McCarthy-level architect of his own class.

For reference, Tyrone Wheatley put up a 10.46 at Michigan, Denard’s personal best was 10.44, and the mathematics of the Universal Standard Model of Quarterback Physics breaks down at around 10.42. Holland said as long as Michigan overcomes the distance hurdle, Johnson will be in the class. Matt Weiss working with Lamar Jackson (and Harbaugh’s history with Kaepernick) is helping convince the dual-threat Michigan would know what to do with him, a comp also shared by 24/7’s Brice Marich($).
