West Bloomfield linebacker Cornell Wheeler has already committed to Michigan and is now playing the role of recruiter, trying to bring a teammate or two with him to Ann Arbor.
Wheeler showed his ability to go sideline to sideline during his junior year, getting in on 146 tackles, including 11 for lost yardage, to help West Bloomfield reach the regional final.
Now, Wheeler is working hard to get Makari Paige, a four-star safety and fellow 2020 prospect, to commit to the Wolverines.
Paige has Michigan in his top seven and is taking his first official visit to Kentucky this weekend before returning to compete in West Bloomfield’s 7-on-7 competition Sunday.
