  FOOTBALL RECRUITING ton, Ore., was slightly different than the Five-Star Challenge. Michigan's newest commit Herbert, along with fellow future Wolverines Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Valor Christian four- star dual-threat quarterback Dylan McCaffrey, Montreal (Quebec) Vieux four-star cornerback Benjamin St- Juste, Los Lunas (N.M.) four-star run- ning back O'Maury Samuels, Groton (Mass.) Lawrence Academy four-star running back AJ Dillon and Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary's four-star out- side linebacker Joshua Ross were all at Nike's major event. The Michigan contingent had a prime opportunity to work on top tar- gets like Peoples-Jones, Ruiz, Single- ton, Pinson (Ala.) Clay five-star wide receiver Nico Collins, Calabasas (Ca- lif.) High five-star cornerback Darnay Holmes, Antioch (Calif.) High five- star running back Najee Harris, Ken- nedale (Texas) High five-star outside linebacker Baron Browning, Detroit Martin Luther King four-star corner- back Ambry Thomas, Los Angeles Ca- thedral four-star weakside defensive end Hunter Echols and Detroit Cass Tech three-star safety Jaylen Kelly- Powell. The sheer number of top prospects paying close attention to Michigan is a huge bump from last year at this time and is in another stratosphere com- pared to where U-M's recruiting stood in July of Brady Hoke's last season. Harbaugh has injected energy and life into the program, and Michigan — which had the nation's No. 4 2017 class through July 11 according to Ri- vals.com —is benefiting from it. ❏ 1-800-421-7751 • www.TheWolverineOnDemand.com Wolverine Games & Puzzles Great for family fun night & tailgating! #1106 Shake 'N Score #1105 Checkers #1107 Panoramic Puzzle Your Choice: $19.95 + $8 S&H
