Michigan Thursday: Looks Like More Defensive Line Needs

We are less then two weeks away from what has become National Signing Day.    It's really the early signing period as NSD is the first Wednesday in February, but most coaches and programs want a majority of their class locked up in December not February.

Michigan is still looking for a interior defensive lineman/defensive tackle and have sent out two new 2019 offers this week.

Jared Harrison-Hunte is a 3 star DT out of Middle Village, NY. He is 6'4 and 286 pounds and has offers from the likes of OSU, PSU, ASU, MSU, Tennessee and others.   Jared getting a Michigan offer late in the process might be good or bad.   It will be key if he takes a visit or not.

Same goes for D'Von Ellies a 6'2 280 pound 4 star DT out of Owings Mills, Maryland who got offered yesterday.  His top offers are OSU, PSU, and USC.  Many thought he might be a lock to Ohio State but with the news out of CBus there could be an opening here.   It seems the Michigan coaches are trying to get him on campus this weekend or next.

My guess this is the result of George Karlaftis staying at Purdue.
