The commitments keep rolling in for Michigan, who has tripled the size of their 2021 class in the span of two weeks. The most recent addition is three-star linebacker Casey Phinney. Phinney is yet another Massachusetts native who plays in the ISL, facing off against the likes of Louis Hansen, Kalel Mullings, and Zak Zinter in the last couple of years.
At 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, Phinney is your classic thumping inside linebacker, similar to Cornell Wheeler from last cycle. While Phinney doesn’t have a long offer list, he did receive offers to play at multiple Ivy League schools, Georgetown, and Army, which tells me that he possesses the smarts and instincts to be the quarterback of the defense.
