Allen Trieu breaks down Michigan’s 2018 recruiting class

Allen Trieu of 247Sports breaks down Michigan’s 2018 recruiting class for The Detroit News.

Top-rated prospect

Per the 247Sports Composite, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is the class' highest-ranked recruit. Hutchinson is a big-framed 6-foot-6, 260-pound Dearborn Divine Child product who starred in January's U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The son of former Michigan defensive lineman Chris Hutchinson, he has great flexibility and motor in that frame. He projects as a strong-side end who can rush the passer as well as play the run, and his combination of size and intangibles should help him compete early in his career.
