National Signing Day is less than a month away, and as such, Jim Harbaugh & Co. are putting the finishing touches on another top recruiting class. That means there's plenty to get to around Michigan football recruiting. Here are all the latest Michigan recruiting news and rumors you need to know.
Najee Harris "undecided" on final commitment
Alabama commit Najee Harris, the top overall prospect in the country, has been committed to the Tide since April 2015, but has been recruited heavily by Michigan over the past several months. Many believe that Harris may flip his commitment to the Wolverines due to that recruitment, and Harris admitted to 247sports that he is currently "undecided."
“I talk to both of them,” Harris said. “I don’t call them. I’m not worried about it. I’m doing workouts 100 percent. They always bug me in the workouts. I’ll tell them hold up I’m trying to workout. Both schools have been busy lately cause the games. Whatever free time they get they’ll talk to me, but it’s quick.
“I tell them don’t do nothing. There’s nothing to do. It’s my decision.”
Harris said he will make his final decision immediately after the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday.
Chuck Filiaga may be favoring Michigan
Four-star offensive tackle Chuck Filiaga (Aledo, TX) will announce his commitment during the Army Bowl as well, and said that he thinks he has already made up his mind. Nebraska, Oklahoma and USC are all still in the mix, but it appears that Michigan is the favorite.
"[Jim Harbaugh] asks me where I'm comfortable at and what I want to do in life," Filiaga said. "He wants to know if I'm in it for the team and not for the fame and fortune. I'm a team guy. It's why I've tried to stay quiet during my recruitment because I don't really want the attention. I like to stay focused on my goals and work on honing my craft.
"I need to be somewhere that will help me progress as a lineman and help me master my craft. I want to think of the 40-year plan and not the four-year plan. What's my life after football? I just want to set myself up for life. I'm leaning towards doing a business/marketing degree. I really liked Michigan's business school. It stood out compared to the other buildings on campus. I liked the inside too."
The 6-foot-6, 325-pounder is ranked as the No. 14 offensive tackle and No. 98 overall prospect in the country.
