COMMITMENT PROFILE
At different points in his recruit-
ment, Southfield (Mich.) High running
back Matt Falcon seemed to be lean-
ing toward Ohio State and Tennessee.
However, after visiting Michigan for
the Spring Game on Easter weekend,
the 6-1, 210-pounder became the sixth
member of Michigan's 2016 recruiting
class.
Rivals.com rates Falcon as a four-star
prospect, the No. 7 player in the state
of Michigan and the No. 13 running
back in the country. Despite his early
interest in the Buckeyes and Volun-
teers, Falcon ultimately decided that
the Maize and Blue were the best fit
for him.
"Early with Ohio State, I liked them
a lot," Falcon said. "They were my first
offer and I liked everything about it.
After they won the championship, a
lot of running backs decided to com-
mit there. That kind of drew me away
from them.
"Tennessee has an amazing fan base
down there, and it was nothing but
positive things from them.
"Now, with Michigan, it's some of
the same stuff, an amazing fan base,
and it's just amazing in Ann Arbor. It's
close to home so I couldn't beat that.
Jim Harbaugh is up there so that's a
big plus. Michigan is just right for me."
