Cincinnati Northwest three-star Rasheen Jones, a Cincinnati commit, reported that the Wolverines made an in-school visit following UC's loss of head coach Butch Jones to Tennessee. Manchester (Conn.) two-star Marquis Little has flown under the radar to date, but the Boston College commit said that the Wolverines have shown new interest in him, as well. Another new need is less mysterious. Although the Wolverines had seemed set on pursuing Seffner (Fla.) Armwood five-star Leon McQuay as the prime defensive back option, the decommitment of Gareon Conley, who committed to Ohio State, meant more openings in the defensive backfield. Several new prospects, such as Trotwood (Ohio) Madison cornerback Reon Dawson (Illinois commit) and Detroit Cass Tech safety Delano Hill (a former Iowa commit), reported new interest from U-M. Michigan capitalized on Hill's shaky Hawkeye pledge, landing a commitment from the four-star Dec. 15. If Michigan can land the top remaining targets on the board, particularly McQuay and five-star Rich- Five-star defensive back Leon McQuay from Seffner (Fla.) Armwood is one of U-M's top remaining targets on the recruiting board for the class of 2013. photo courtesy rivals.com mond (Va.) Hermitage running back Derrick Green, there may not be room for many of these new names in the class. If U-M misses out on some of them, some could still end up as Wolverines. Attrition from the U-M roster could also mean more space would be available in 2013. ❑   On The Web For regular reports on Michigan football recruiting plus videos of U-M commitments and targets visit TheWolverine.com. 2013 Rivals.com Team Rankings (As of Dec. 18) Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 School USC Notre Dame Alabama Florida Michigan LSU Texas A&M Ohio State Georgia Washington Florida State Vanderbilt Texas South Carolina Virginia Tech North Carolina Clemson UCLA Mississippi Auburn Oklahoma Arizona Illinois Virginia California Total 16 22 20 24 24 22 33 19 30 21 16 21 13 19 18 19 16 18 20 13 15 25 26 17 20 Five-Star Four-Star Three-Star Avg.
