National Signing Day is finally upon us. Michigan will finally close out its 2015 recruiting class today, as commits and signatures will be made official throughout the day today. With many of their top targets still on the board, Jim Harbaugh and staff are in for an interesting day.
Michigan has ten commitments heading into today with about five-to-seven spots up for grabs still. Their current commits are: Quarterbacks Alex Malzone and Zach Gentry, wide receiver Grant Perry, offensive linemen Jon Runyan Jr., Grant Newsome, and Nolan Ulizio, defensive end Reuben Jones, defensive back Tyree Kinnel, athlete Brian Cole and kicker Andrew David.
Malzone and Cole both are early enrollees and are already on campus.
Things will be busy right off the bat with three commitments coming in the 8 a.m. ET hour, starting with running back Karan Higdon. Tight end Chris Clark and athlete Keith Washington are expected to announce around 8:30 a.m.
This thread will be the mothership for all of our recruiting coverage throughout NSD. We will be updating the post throughout the entire day with the latest updates, news, scouting reports and more.
Also, we will be chatting with you throughout the day in the comments below. Send in your questions, comments and feedback.
