Four-star offensive tackle Jean Delance (North Mesquite, TX) said the Michigan Wolverines were one of this three finalists, along with LSu and Texas.
He plans to announce his decision on January 2 during the Under Armour All-American Game in Orlando, though he will tell the coach of the college he chooses two days before announcing it publicly.
"When my mom arrives in Florida I'll talk it over with her one more time before I make it," Delance said. "I'll base my decision on playing time, the degree you can get, how the coach is close to my family especially my mom and grandma. And how the position coach has recruited me."
Delance spoke glowingly about Michigan and head coach Jim Harbaugh to 247sports, saying he had a great time during his visit to Ann Arbor on Dec. 12.
"The best part of the visit was definitely coach (Jim) Harbaugh. He's going to have the best recruiting class they've had in a while. They had a 9-3 season and are bowl eligible. They are going to be good the next four or five years. They have some great people there. I loved it up there. I took in a lot there. I loved watching them practice. It's so much different than a high school practice. They go hard every rep. They lose a lot of upperclassmen. They have some good commits coming in and they told me they need me to help them. Coach Harbaugh gave me a great message. He said if I come there he won't mess it up for me. He said all my dreams will come true. He said I can get a top-notch degree and Michigan is the place to be."
The 6'5", 291-pounder is ranked as the No. 90 overall player in the country, including the No. 10 offensive tackle.
