Michigan Sits at 7th in 2017 Recruiting Class

Following the commitment of James Hudson, the Wolverines now sit at No. 7 in terms of their 2017 recruiting class, per Isaiah Hole of Wolverine247 (FREE). This is slightly behind where they have sat for most of the offseason (5th), due to commitments for Notre Dame and Oklahoma.

ICYMI, Michigan secured their 19th commitment of the 2017 class in the form of 2017 3* (just outside the 4* range) DE James Hudson (OH). The Central Catholic (Toledo) product sits as the 13th-ranked strong-side defensive end in the class and 15th overall in Ohio. Per Hudson's Twitter page:

Hudson chose the Wolverines over Michigan State and other programs. He seemed to solidify his desire to play for the Wolverines over the weekend, when he visited Ann Arbor for the BBQ at the Big House. For more on what Hudson will bring to Michigan, read here.
