Michigan Football: Wolverines beat Penn State for top safety in 2020

It was no secret that this was a big recruiting weekend for Michigan football, with more than 20 targets from 2020 and 2021 in Ann Arbor during that time.

However, of all the recruits in attendance this over the past two days, you would have thought the least likely to commit to Michigan football was Jordan Morant, the No. 1 safety in 2020 according to the 247 sports rankings.

The reason isn’t that Morant wasn’t high on Michigan. In fact, to the contrary, UM has held most of his crystal balls throughout the process and have long been the favorite for the defensive back from Bergen Catholic in New Jersey.
