Michigan made a splash on National Signing day by signing some marquee uncommitted recruits (four-star defensive lineman Derrick Moore, four-star safety Keon Sabb, who recently decommitted from Clemson, and four-star wide receiver Darrius Clemons) and flipping some recruits as well (three-star wide receiver Amorion Walker from Notre Dame and three-star quarterback Alex Orji from Virginia Tech). At the end of the day, the Wolverines came out with the ninth ranked class nationally according to 247Sports.
Check out the social media reactions from Michigan’s big day:
