the Five-Star Challenge. Michigan's

fellow future Wolverines Highlands
Ranch (Colo.) Valor Christian four-

McCaffrey, Montreal (Quebec) Vieux
four-star cornerback Benjamin St-

running back AJ Dillon and Orchard
Lake (Mich.) St. Mary's four-star out-

ton, Pinson (Ala.) Clay five-star wide
receiver Nico Collins, Calabasas (Ca-

Holmes, Antioch (Calif.) High five-

linebacker Baron Browning, Detroit
Martin Luther King four-star corner-
