Hall Announces Early Enrollment
Four-star OT JaRaymond Hall announced that he would enroll early Friday via Twitter. The Oak Park product is one of the longer commits in the 2017 class, but will join the Wolverines on campus in January.

The early enrollment will be a big factor for a Michigan offensive line that is set to take a big hit after this season. Hall's arrival on campus will give plenty of time for him to develop even further, and while he may not make a huge impact in year one, the extra six months of practice can't hurt.

Ruiz has been on Michigan's radar for a long time as the aforementioned offensive line shortcomings loom. He hasn't given much indication throughout the recruiting process other than a few ambiguous tweets, but Michigan is thought to have a good shot at landing the four-star lineman out of IMG Academy. Ruiz would be a big addition to a class that desperately needs more offensive line talent, but just as important is his potential to sway four-star OLB and teammate Jordan Anthony. Ruiz intends to announce his commitment at 12:00pm on Monday.
