Calhoun was wanted by Kentucky, Maryland, and Pitt, among others, but Michigan won out in a close battle against the Kentucky Wildcats. He finished the cycle ranked as a 4-star, the #31 cornerback, and #396 overall. He enrolled early in Ann Arbor back in January and participated in spring practices. Overall, the feedback was positive and he seemed to put himself in a good position to play in the future.
Michigan's shortage of cornerbacks is going to require some young, inexperienced guys to play. The Wolverines did land UMass transfer Josh Wallace to potentially start opposite Will Johnson, and they also have the super-athletic - but raw - Amorion Walker. Calhoun has virtually no chance to start, but he could mix in at times to prepare for the future. I think fellow freshman Jyaire Hill is more athletic and has a higher upside, but Calhoun might get a chance to show his stuff, especially early in the season.
Prediction: Backup cornerback
Hopefully we dont need him this year
ReplyDeleteI agree and hope we don’t need him this year, but also hope he gets his four games if not more. He have W Johnson for one more year and hope that J Hill is a hit, but our corner recruiting has been pretty thin and it would be helpful if this kid is at least serviceable next year and able to get some back up or rotational minutes.
ReplyDeleteI know this is an open question, but what is the general feeling of our secondary recruiting? Even in the current class, 2024, we seem to be getting the majority of players across the board that fit the system, and what the coaches are looking for. Except for corner
I find it perplexing that the secondary seems like a low priority and high end talent has been hard to come by despite great success. Zordich was supposedly not a great recruiter but clink hasn't provided much or maybe any bump. Johnson is legacy and beyond that...
