Recruiting Update: May 26, 2015

Plantation (FL) American Heritage defensive end Brian Burns (#99)
NOTE: I posted a short recruiting update on 2018 prospects yesterday (LINK).

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2016
New Orleans (LA) Brother Martin tight end Peyton Aucoin was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'4", 255 lb. prospect who has lots of a lower level offers, along with Arizona State, North Carolina State, and Texas. He's a 247 Composite 3-star, the #44 tight end, and #1015 overall. Aucoin is not known for his pass catching skills, but he blocks very well and has the size to be an in-line tight end and essentially another lineman.

Plantation (FL) American Heritage defensive end Brian Burns was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'5", 212 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, and South Carolina, among others. He's a 247 Composite 3-star, the #27 weakside end, and #438 overall. As a junior in 2014, he had 75 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, and 12 sacks. He claims a 4.76 forty and was invited to The Opening. Burns is a long, lean, quick-twitch guy who has the makings of an impressive pass rusher. You may want to watch his highlights for some pretty impressive basketball highlights that are interspersed throughout.

Abbotsford (BC) Abbotsford wide receiver Chase Claypool was offered by Michigan. He's a 6'5", 205 lb. prospect with offers from Arizona, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, among others. He's a 247 Composite 3-star, the #168 wide receiver, and #1159 overall. The talent, coaching, and passion for football just isn't the same in Canada as it is in the United States, so Canadian prospects are tough to judge based on their level of competition and their lack of precise coaching. However, Claypool has some good change-of-direction skills for being so tall, and he looks like a basketball player when going up for the ball. British Columbia - the southwestern province of Canada - borders the state of Washington, and Oregon appears to be the front-runner for Claypool's services.

Hit the jump for several more 2016 offers, a few 2017 offers, some guys who committed elsewhere, and some random bits.
