Michigan football reeled in another huge recruit Wednesday afternoon when coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff received a commitment from four-star defensive end Derrick Moore of Maryland.
Considered one of the best pass rushers in the nation, Moore is the No. 79 overall prospect 247 Sports' composite rankings and the 12th-ranked defensive lineman. He was pursued by some of the best programs in the country and held scholarship offers from Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State and USC, among others.

With his 6-foot-4, 250-pound frame, Moore represents an important answer to the question of who will replace star pass rushers Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo next season and beyond.
