ESPN has been evaluating college football recruits since 2006 and on Monday published a ranking of all the No. 1 players in each class.
Defensive end Rashan Gary earned that distinction in 2016 and he was ranked No. 7 among all the No. 1 players. The list was compiled by ESPN’s Tom Luginbill and Craig Haubert (pay site).
Gary arrived at Michigan as a consensus five-star from Paramus Catholic in New Jersey. He played three seasons at Michigan, with 10 sacks and 23 tackles for loss.
