As far as Michigan football recruiting is concerned, it was a really solid weekend for the Wolverines, considering they grabbed a verbal pledge from four-star Junior Colson Sunday afternoon.
Colson, a top recruit out of Tennessee, is the top defensive player committed as part of Michigan football’s 2021 recruiting class and according to the 247 sports composite rankings, he’s No. 118 overall as well as the eighth-best outside linebacker.
That’s a significant addition in its own right, considering Colson is now the third-ranked prospect in the Wolverines class, which ranks eighth nationally according to 247 sports and sixth according to Rivals.
