Odebolt (IA) Odebolt-Arthur athlete Jaxx DeJean (5-star, #3 ATH, #21 overall) was offered by Michigan. If the name sounds familiar, that's because he's the younger brother of former Iowa Hawkeye defensive back Cooper DeJean, who recently had a pick-six for the Philadelphia Eagles against Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Jaxx is a 6'6", 205 lb. prospect with offers from Iowa, Kansas State, UAB, and UNLV.
Denver (NC) East Lincoln tight end Jaxon Dollar (unranked) was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'5", 208-pounder with offers from Cincinnati, Florida State, Penn State, and South Carolina.
Sacramento (CA) Grant Union tight end Rahzario Edwards (unranked) was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'6", 210 lb. prospect who has fielded offers from Florida, Ole Miss, Oregon, Stanford, Tennessee, and USC, among others.
Hit the jump for more.
Tustin (CA) Tustin linebacker Taven Epps (4-star, #3 LB, #56 overall) was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'4", 210-pounder with offers from Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Tennessee, Texas, and USC, among others. 247 Sports national analyst Greg Biggins compared him to former Clemson safety Isaiah Simmons, a jumbo safety/linebacker type, but with two years left to grow, I think Epps is more likely to be a linebacker or an edge rusher in college.
Tyrone (GA) Sandy Creek wide receiver Corey Hadley, Jr. (unranked) was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'1", 170 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, and Ohio State, among others.
Alpharetta (GA) Milton tight end Grant Haviland (unranked) was offered by Michigan. He stands 6'4", 215 lbs. and has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee, and Texas, among others.
Tampa (FL) Jesuit linebacker Kaden Henderson (5-star, #1 LB, #25 overall) was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'2", 200 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, USC, and others. He attends the same high school that Georgia transfer linebacker Troy Bowles attended. Henderson is a fun one to watch throw kids around like rag dolls:
MISCELLANEY
I posted a pretty hefty list of visitors from last weekend (LINK).
Corey Hadley is too short!
ReplyDeleteRecruiting in many ways is a lot easier for coaches. Turn it over to the accountants, the player evaluators, put it in a spreadsheet, and calculate the NIL number. No more HS visits.
