Sleeper from Belleville.
That’s literally all I knew about the Michigan linebacker when he suddenly became a top target. He visited with the rest of the Victors Weekend contingent and pledged the night of Juneteenth. That occurred with little fanfare, outside of a pocket of people extremely excited for the end of the bad old days of Michigan feuding with former Tom Wilcher assistant Jermain Crowell. This is the guy who built Belleville into one of the biggest suburban Detroit powers right on the doorstep of Ann Arbor, and then built a fence between us.
Even if the fence hadn't come down with Michigan's 2021 staff shakeup, this is one kid who might have followed Andre Seldon over it; Alexander grew up loving Michigan, and the feeling got very mutual when he showed up to various camps this summer.

Continuing with the catchup Hellos from the first half of the season, we arrive on the guy I’d given up hope on, because Michigan got in on his charge up the rankings, then Ohio State got in as he kept charging, and I figured it would be rude to get in the way of something Ohio State wants. But did they want, or did Grant rise just high enough to pique their interest, but not quite enough to send an entire expedition to dig him out of the Indiana ice?
It was quite the archaeological accomplishment. Grant isn’t just a DT. He’s not just a large DT. In fact, several recruiting reporters across the sites insisted that Grant ought to be classified in the Proboscidean order.

Subtle, we are not. Neither is Kenneth Grant.
