Decisions Coming Soon for Two Michigan Targets

‘Tis the season for not only satellite camps, but also early decisions for those in the 2017 cycle. Two of Michigan's top targets are set to announce their college choices in the near future, and Maize ‘n Brew has you covered with all of the information you need regarding these announcements.

2017 4* DE Luiji Vilain

2017 four-star weak-side defensive end Luiji Vilain informed Steve Wiltfong of Wolverine247 (FREE) that he will announce his college decision on Sunday, June 12. The athlete also took to Twitter to make his announcement.

Michigan, USC and Virginia Tech are Vilain's three finalists, as he is a native of Virginia. He visited the Wolverines back on May 21, his last visit before his decision. The Crystal Ball is currently in favor of Michigan landing the athlete.

Per the 247Composite, Vilain is the 7th-ranked DE in his class and the third overall athlete in VA.

2017 4* DE Corey Malone-Hatcher

2017 four-star DE Corey Malone-Hatcher will make his college decision this Thursday at 3:30 p.m. according to Steve Wiltfong of Wolverine247 (FREE). Michigan is currently the top contender per the Crystal Ball, but also in the mix are Alabama, Notre Dame, and Ohio State, among others.

He is the 16th-ranked DE in the 2017 cycle and sixth overall in Michigan, as he is a native of St. Joseph. Hatcher last visited the Wolverines back on April 1, an unofficial visit.
