Top target in the 2021 recruiting class, Ryan Barnes chose somewhere other than Michigan football, plus an expert projects a 2022 recruit to Wolverines.
Not all news in recruiting is good news and for Michigan football, one of the top targets remaining for the Wolverines in 2021, Ryan Barnes, a three-star defensive back, committed to Notre Dame Saturday in a bit of bad news.
Things were already trending in that direction, so it wasn’t a shock. But Barnes just released a top-15 list not long ago and there was some hope if he waited to decide, Michigan football could make up ground for the 6-foot-2 defensive back U-M viewed as a safety or corner.
