Naji Ozeir, a 6-foot-8 forward from Novi, committed to Michigan as a preferred walk-on today. Ozeir will join the incoming freshman class with Isaiah Livers, Eli Brooks and Jordan Poole.

After graduating from Novi in 2016, Ozeir took a prep year at Salisbury School in Connecticut, where he received an offer from Wayne State and interest from a few other teams.

But Ozeir grew up a U-M fans and wanted to be a Wolverine. For a while though, it didn’t look like that would be a possibility.
