Sometimes there are recruits that the Michigan Wolverines recruit much higher than the recruiting services rank them. Names like Khaleke Hudson, Devin Bush, and Kwity Paye were recruits that the services didn’t necessarily laud as super high-star talents, but Michigan prioritized otherwise. The three-star cornerback out of Florida, Ja’Den McBurrows, falls in line as being treated similarly.
Playing at the powerhouse school St. Thomas Acquinas, he surely had the national attention, as well as a national offer list. Teams like Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, and LSU extended a scholarship, showing the gap between offer and recruitment ranking.
