Wednesday Michigan Recruiting Roundup: Recruits React to Weekend Visit in Ann Arbor

There were several 2016 and 2017 recruits on hand for Michigan's dominating win over Rutgers, including 2016 tight end commit Sean McKeon (Dudley, MA) and 2016 defensive tackle prospect Chris Daniels (Euless, TX).

Per Steve Lorenz of Wolverine247 ($), McKeon's official visit on Saturday exceeded his already high expectations. The three-star commit commented on the gameday atmosphere of the Big House and Ann Arbor, as well as his experience observing current TE Jake Butt play on the field.

This visit for McKeon was especially exciting, as he announced that he will be enrolling early at the university, moving in as soon as early January. This will give McKeon ample time to learn the offense and become familiar and comfortable with the team and coaching staff.

McKeon is the 47th-ranked tight end in the 2016 cycle and second in the state of Massachusetts.

Along with McKeon, perhaps the most notable name on the recruiting visitors list was that of four-star DT Chris Daniels. According to Steve Lorenz of Wolverine247 ($), while Daniels appears to like Michigan a lot and enjoyed his trip to Ann Arbor, his lips are tight at this point as to which universities are currently at the top of his list.

Daniels plans to make a decision prior to December 18th, before which he has one official visit scheduled with Oklahoma.

In addition to these individuals, 2017 three-star athlete Antjuan Simmons also payed a visit to the Big House on Saturday. The Wolverines offered the Pioneer HS (Ann Arbor) recruit last week.

Simmons commented on how he felt comfortable with the coaching staff, along with how they treated him as a priority throughout the duration of his visit. He also spoke about the bright future for Michigan football.

As of now, the Wolverines offer to Simmons is as an athlete, as he is skilled at several positions including linebacker, safety, and running back.

He is ranked ninth in the state of Michigan per the 247Composite.
