BRISTOL, Conn. -- Rashan Gary, the No. 1 ranked prospect overall, has committed to Michigan.
The coveted defensive tackle chose Michigan over Clemson and had offers from nearly every major program in the country.
Michigan landing the 6-foot-4, 287-pound prospect gives the Big Ten its first No. 1 ranked signee since ESPN started its rankings in 2006. It also gives Michigan its highest-ranked commitment, the next highest was Jabrill Peppers who was ranked No. 2 overall in the 2014 class
The Michigan staff worked diligently to fend off pushes from Clemson, USC, Alabama, Auburn and Ole Miss throughout the process and the relationships Gary and his mother built with the staff paid off in the end.
