2012 Recruits

TE: 4* Devin Funchess, 6'4'' 205lbs. Farmington Hills, MI (Harrison HS)
- COMMITTED. Big, Playmaking tight end who has the ability to be another superstar player in the Al Borges pro style offense.  Funchess highlights. 

TE/OT: 3* AJ Williams, 6'6'' 260lbs. Cincinnati, OH. (Sycamore HS)
- COMMITTED. A huge blocking tight end, who will most likely be moved to offensive tackle. If not, then he will be brought in mainly on running plays and plays which need a lot of protection.

OT: 5* Kyle Kalis, 6'5'' 305lbs. Lakewood, OH. (St. Edwards HS)
- COMMITTED. After he officially de-committed from the buckeyes and is visiting Michigan this up-coming weekend. Rumors are that he could be a Blue lean. This would be an amazing pick up for this class, Kalis is a mauler and road grader that has a mean streak. Kalis highlights. 

OT: 4* Blake Bars, 6'5'' 275lbs. Nashville, TN. (Montgomery Bell Academy)
- COMMITTED. This is a great pick up for Michigan, especially since he was offered by big name programs like LSU, Penn State, Florida and many more. Also this was big because his older brother plays at Penn State and his Dad is a former ND linebacker, so Michigan was behind from the start. Bars highlights. 

OT: 4* Erik Magnuson, 6'6'' 275lbs. Encinitas, CA (La Costa Canyon HS)
- COMMITTED. This was a huge pickup, Mags is a great offensive tackle prospect and with his size and ability he has the chance to play either right or left tackle. Magnuson highlights. 

OT: 3* Ben Braden, 6'7'' 300lbs. Rockford, MI (Rockford HS)
- COMMITTED. More of a project pick up, Braden has the size for Hoke and his staff to try and develop him into a good depth player.

OG: 3* Caleb Stacey, 6'4'' 280. Cincinnati, Ohio (Oak Hills HS)
- COMMITTED. Another good pick up, and the only legitimate interior offensive lineman in this class.

DT/DE: 3* Matt Godin, 6'6'' 265. Novi, MI (Catholic Central HS)
- COMMITTED. Brought in to be a strongside defensive end, but he has the size and frame to put on the weight and muscle to become a disruptive DT/DE like Van Bergen. Godin highlights.

DE: 4* Tom Strobel, 6'6'' 245. Mentor, Ohio (Mentor HS)
- COMMITTED. An amazing pick up, and force to be reckoned with. Strobel will be a great player under Mattison and Hoke. Strobel highlights. 

DE: 3* Pharaoh Brown, 6'6'' 220. Lyndhurst, Ohio (Brush HS)
- COMMITTED. A project defensive end that will need to red shirt and add weight, but he could be a great rush/speed player to get after the QB. Brown highlights.

DE/OLB: 4* Mario Ojemudia, 6'2'' 220. Farmington Hills, MI (Harrison HS)
-COMMITTED. A perfect outside rush linebacker for Mattison to work with if he does in fact use a mix of the 34 defense along with the 43 defense. He reminds me of Baltimore LB Sergio Kindle. Ojemudia highlights.

OLB: 4* Kaleb Ringer, 6'1'' 225. Clayton, Ohio (Northmont HS)
-COMMITTED. Another great linebacker that has the size to be a tackling machine in college, especially with the coaching of Hoke and Company. Ringer highlights. 

LB: 4* Joe Bolden, 6'3'' 230. Cincinnati, Ohio (Colerain HS)
-COMMITTED. Bolden is a instinctive field general that could be the leader and coach on the field. Plus he has the tools to be a great linebacker. Bolden highlights. 

LB: 4* James Ross, 6'1'' 215. Orchard Lake, MI (St. Marys HS)
-COMMITTED. One of the best linebackers in the country and top players in the state of Michigan, which was why he was an even bigger get for the Wolverines. Could be a absolute stud and superstar. Ross highlights. 

LB: 4* Royce Jenkins-Stone, 6'2'' 215. Detroit, MI (Cass Tech HS)
-COMMITTED. Has that ability and instincts to be a first round NFL draftee, and really leave his legacy at Michigan as one of the best linebackers to wear the winged helmet. RJS highlights. 

CB: 4* Terry Richardson, 5'10'' 165. Detroit, MI (Cass Tech HS)
-COMMITTED. Another member of the fab freshmen class, T-Rich has the playmaking ability to change the outcome of any game. Richardson highlights. 

CB: 3* Anthony Standifer, 6'1'' 180. Crete, IL (Crete-Monee HS)
-COMMITTED. Standifer has the chance to be a stud after most likely a red shirt year, especially with his size, play making ability and closing speed. Standifer highlights.

FS: 4* Jarrod Wilson, 6'2'' 190. Akron, Ohio (Buchtel HS)
- COMMITTED. Another play maker in the secondary, Wilson could have the chance to come in right away and compete for a starting job. Wilson highlights.


SS. 3* Allen Gant, 6'2'' 205. Sylvania, Ohio (Southview HS)
-COMMITTED. A legacy Michigan player, his father was a defensive back for the maize and blue and now his son will have a chance to follow in his footsteps. Gant highlights.
