2019 Best Guess Recruiting Class: Fourth of July Special Edition

After the last couple of weeks of fireworks the Michigan football team has had on the recruiting trail, it only makes sense to do a Fourth of July Special for my next 2019 Best Guess Recruiting Class.

Michigan is in the middle of an absolute tear on the recruiting trail where the staff has welcomed nine new commitments to the 2019 class over the last two weeks. 19 spots are accounted for in this class with several top-flight targets left on the board. The staff has done a fantastic job becoming a very real factor in all of the races and is bound to win at a couple of them over the likes of Stanford, Clemson, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Purdue.

Without giving too much away, here’s how I put together my latest attempt at the 2019 Michigan football recruiting class prediction:

Class Size
- Looking at the scholarship chart, where it could be when the 2019 season begins, adding in the new commits, and looking at the number of spots the staff looks to be targeting for, I believe this class could end up between 23-27 spots. Plenty of attrition would be needed to get to that number.
Position Numbers
- This should be a pretty well-rounded class with fewer spots and some prime positions of need. With five offensive linemen already committed, the staff looks like it could still add at least one more to the list. Another quarterback no longer looks likely as spots start to fill up. A big receiver and an athlete or two that could play slot receiver look to be likely.
- On defense, there are spots available at pretty much every spot depending on the recruit. 1-2 more defensive lineman, a couple more vipers/linebackers/safeties are the main positions that the staff looks to be targeting.
Class Attrition
- Te’Cory Couch decommitted from the class in June but may not be the last. Stephen Herron continues to have his name in the rumor mill but he may not be the only name to watch from now until NSD. With the number of top prospects/top targets still out there and the few spots that look to be available in this class, there’s a chance a current commit is looking elsewhere prior to signing day.

Chances Key:

Excellent – Top Team/Favorite to Land
Very Good – Top 2-3/Realistic Possibility
Good – Top 5/Sticking Around
Fair – Puncher’s Chance/Questionable Take
Poor – Hardly Mentioned/Not Happening

Check out my second attempt at the 2019 Michigan football best guess recruiting class prediction:

1. QB: Cade McNamara, 6’1” 205lbs. Reno, NV (Damonte Ranch)

McNamara has proven himself throughout the camp circuit and has become a main recruiter for this class. His ties to his 7v7 teammate ATH Giles Jackson may end up paying off for the Wolverines. He told 247Sports’ Josh Newkirk he was also targeting WR Kyle Ford and S Daxton Hill during The Opening ($).

2. RB: Zach Charbonnet, 6’2” 205lbs. Westlake Village, CA (Oaks Christian)

Charbonnet was the biggest surprise commitment from the mega visitor weekend. He’s been a top target for the staff for a long time and is a guy who should see a ratings boost by NSD on his game tape alone. Either way, he’s one of the best gets in this class and makes up one hell of a running back pairing with the next name on this list.

3. RB: Eric Gray, 5’10” 190lbs. Memphis, TN (Lausanne Collegiate)

After committing to Michigan at The Opening on Monday, Gray is back on the list for the first time since January. He’s long been tied to Michigan as he was on my September 2017 BGRC as well after camping in Ann Arbor, working closely with Jay Harbaugh, and him being reported as a “Michigan type” by TMI’s Steve Lorenz ($). Like previously mentioned, the combo of Gray and Charbonnet is a dream haul for the staff.

4. WR/ATH: George Johnson III, 5’11” 180lbs. Stuart, FL (Martin County)

Johnson is another new addition to the class and one of what could be multiple uber-athletic offensive weapons that can play multiple positions. He’s a dual-threat quarterback/wide receiver in high school and looks like he could end up seeing time at receiver and even a little wildcat quarterback in Ann Arbor. This was a nice get from a Florida prospect that was really catching fire on the trail.

5. WR: Cornelius Johnson, 6’3” 195lbs. Greenwich, CT

Johnson is a rare name on the list that wasn’t at the mega recruiting weekend. He looks to be one of the staff’s top wide receiver targets and the connections are there for this to happen. TMI’s Sam Webb still feels good about Michigan landing him after The Opening thanks in part to his connections to both the school and state (his mother went to medical school at Michigan and his father is from Detroit ($). Add in the Don Brown effect in Connecticut and Michigan’s need for a bigger receiver in this class, and I like their chances of beating out Notre Dame and Stanford.

All was included in my last BGRC based on the likely chance he became a top target for the staff. Well, that happened and he ended up committing not long afterwards. He has plenty of size to put on but his length, athleticism and pass-catching ability should make him a very nice prospect for the Wolverines.

7. OT: Trevor Keegan, 6’6” 310lbs. Crystal Lake, IL (Crystal Lake)

Keegan was left off my last BGRC as Ohio State looked to be in control of his recruitment. But I kept my Crystal Ball prediction on him with another trip coming up to Ann Arbor. He was on hand for the mega visit in June and now the momentum looks to have swung all the way back to the Wolverines as they once again have the Crystal Ball lead. If the staff can close, it would give them a fantastic offensive line haul with Keegan being the cherry on top.

Other Options: Danielson Ike, William Harrod

8. OT: Trente Jones, 6’6” 290lbs. Loganville, GA (Grayson)

Jones is another very nice get for the staff out of Georgia. He’s a big, physical offensive lineman that could play either tackle or guard in college. Playing against some of the top talent in the country in the Peach State, he’s a guy that could compete for a starting job early on in his career.

9. OT: Karsen Barnhart, 6’5” 285lbs. Paw Paw, MI (Paw Paw)

Barnhart is an underrated in-state get for the staff. He’s a versatile lineman with the size and tenacity needed in a Big Ten offensive lineman. But he’s still pretty raw. He has the frame to add a good amount of size and continue to move like he does. As a basketball player, he has good feet and bends well but still needs to add strength. With some more time in the weight room, cafeteria, and on the practice field, he could be a nice prospect on the line.

10. OL: Jack Stewart, 6’5” 280lbs. New Canaan, CT (New Canaan)

Stewart joined the class in the spring after picking up his offer from the staff during his visit to campus. He’s a guy who was relatively unknown on the recruiting front before Michigan got involved, as he isn’t the recruiting camp type. But his size and mean streak make him a good fit for what Michigan’s trying to get back to on the offensive line. He’s a guy that could play all over the line.

11. OG: Zach Carpenter, 6’5” 300lbs. Cincinnati, OH (Moeller)

Carpenter was a wanted recruit for a reason. He’s an absolute mauler that uses his strength and technique to dominate a high level of competition in Ohio. He’s projected to play offensive guard but also looks to be the type of lineman that could slide to center, if necessary. Where ever he ends up, thanks to his physical talents and experience against better talent, he’s a player that could play early in his career with Ben Bredeson and Michael Onwenu off to the league after the 2019 season.

Even with all of the new additions, Rumler has one of the highest ceilings out of any of the current commits or targets in this class. He’s another mauler on the inside that could play either guard or center for the maize and blue. As one of the first commits of the class, he’s taken on a leadership role with the offensive line recruiting and has been a key reason in Michigan’s recent recruiting success.

Hinton is not only the crown jewel of the class but he’s also one of the top recruiting wins in recent memory for Michigan recruiting. He’s a flat out stud of a player with NFL bloodlines and also happens to be a leader of this class in terms of recruiting for Michigan. He’s been consistent on Twitter recruiting the top names on the board, including Zach Harrison and the others visitors in at the mega recruiting weekend.

Ojabo is one of the latest commitments and big wins for the staff. In just one year of organized football, the Scottish international held offers from the likes of Clemson, Ohio State, Penn State and Notre Dame. He’s obviously very raw because of his inexperience but his mix of size and athleticism are worth the scholarship. While he may start off at strongside defensive end, he has the frame to play on the inside once he puts on some more size.

Karlaftis is back on the list after missing the last two predictions following his commitment to the Boilermakers. As a legit five-star talent in this class, it’s normally a pretty bold take to predict a flip. However, if there is one team that can sway him away from Purdue, it’s Michigan. He told 247Sports’ Josh Newkirk that Michigan is the only other school he’d consider visiting ($). And while I do believe Purdue is on the rise as a program, I could see the results on the field potentially making a flip a little easier for Karlaftis. It’s far from a lock to happen but the way the Wolverines have hung around here, there looks to be a real chance this happens.

Herron is still one of the best gets in this class and showed it during his time at The Opening. He placed in the top 20 of his SPARQ scores among the nation’s elite and could be a star as a rush end. Luckily for Michigan, he continues to say he’s 100% committed to the Wolverines even though there are plenty of rumors out there about him flipping to Stanford. It’s hard to see exactly how this will play out but for now, he looks to be firm in his commitment.

This is still a really tough call. Michigan was the heavy favorite and then Stanford took over.

He told 247Sports’ Brian Dohn about his plans to visit UCLA prior to making his final decision ($). LA can win anyone over but I’ll stick with Michigan and Don Brown’s defensive scheme winning out here in the end.

Thomas is a longtime member of the class and one of the lead recruiters for the staff. He’s locked into one of the only linebacker spots in this class as he looks to be a nice fit at the WILL spot. He’s not the tallest linebacker but he sets the tone with his energy and physicality in a similar fashion to Devin Bush Jr. He’ll be a nice add to an already loaded linebacker depth chart.

The former Ohio State baseball commit turned Michigan football and baseball commit is the perfect fit for Don Brown’s defense. He’s a strong, physical, athletic hybrid player that has the size of a safety but the physicality of a linebacker, which is pretty much the exact breakdown of Khaleke Hudson. He has a nose for the ball and can read offenses well from the safety position.

Cine was another visitor for the mega recruiting weekend in June and yet another visitor that Michigan looks to have made a move with. It was his first trip to Ann Arbor and looked to go as well as possible. He’s a priority in this class and only recently moved to Texas from Massachusettes so the Don Brown admiration is there. Michigan is in a battle with Penn State, Georgia, and Texas here but UM may have an ace up its sleeve in rumored future commitment and former teammate of Cine’s, ATH Mike Sainristil. If he does indeed flip from Virginia Tech, he could be a valuable asset in Cine’s recruitment.

As previously mentioned, both TMI’s Steve Lorenz ($) and The Wolverine’s Brandon Brown ($) have heard that the cornerback/wide receiver is leaning towards flipping his commitment from Virginia Tech. There isn’t an exact date known but he’s a definite candidate to be the next addition to the class.

Projected Class Score: 269.66 (per 247Sports)

Michigan currently has the #3 class in the country with several top targets remaining. If they end up adding the names on the list above, it’ll give UM a very chance at signing a top 10 class on National Signing Day. Notre Dame finished 10th in 2018 with 268.86 and Oklahoma finished 8th in 2017 with 270.79. If Michigan’s commits get the rankings bumps that may be on the horizon and/or they land some of their top overall targets (Crouch, Hill, Harrison, Ford), this class will be in contention for a top-five spot.

Just Missed the List

ATH Quavaris Crouch
- Crouch was the last name I took off the list. He unofficially visited Ann Arbor once again in June and now could be favoring the Wolverines, according to TMI’s Steve Lorenz ($). It’s also been reported that he could make his decision prior to his senior season. That means a return visit for the BBQ could be gigantic for Michigan’s chances. Tennessee looks to be the main competition here and has the whole weather thing going for it. I think Michigan can win out here but I’m not confident enough to put him on the list just yet.
ATH Giles Jackson
- Michigan made a huge impression on Jackson during his official visit in June. As 7v7 teammates with UM commit QB Cade McNamara, UM has a real shot here. However, with other ATH/WR targets on the board and other programs looking to be pushing for him, mainly USC, Oregon and Oregon State, I couldn’t find a spot for him in this prediction.
S Daxton Hill
- Hill is a top overall target for the staff and one that Michigan could potentially win. He raved about his unofficial visit to Ann Arbor and mentioned his official visit plans for this fall to 247Sports’ Josh Newkirk ($). Oklahoma looks to be the favorite here but another visit to town and a big season on the field could give Michigan the edge. But that visit (or a BBQ visit) at least would need to happen before I’d feel comfortable enough putting him on this list.
DE Zach Harrison
- Harrison is another elite target the staff has done a fantastic job recruiting. Everyone and their mother thought he was a lock to go to Ohio State but both Michigan and Penn State have given him something to think about ($). While there’s a sliver of hope here, a lot would need to happen for me to add him to this projection.
ATH Wandale Robinson
- Robinson was another mega recruiting weekend visitor and looked to have a great time. However, with the additions of both Zach Charbonnet and Eric Gray at running back and George Johnson at slot receiver, Michigan looks to be in a battle for the dynamic playmaker. It’ll be interesting to see how hard the staff pushes for him moving forward. Either way, Kentucky, Duke and potentially Ohio State are expected to be tough competition.
DE Tyrece Woods
- The Belleville standout recently received his offer from the staff and quickly became the favorite to land him. And as long as he’s a take, that looks likely to happen. But that’s the question. With the recent defensive line additions and the top targets still very much on the board, it’s tough to find a spot for him in this class.
DT Rodas Johnson
- Johnson was on the May BGRC after receiving his offer and several Crystal Ball predictions. And with a visit to town to camp, it looked like a good bet he’d end up in the class. But not much came out of that visit and with Mazi Smith and David Ojabo on board, it looks like the defensive tackle spot may be filled.
OL William Harrod
- Michigan still holds 100% of the Crystal Ball selections for Harrod but with the staff looking to only be targeting the tackle position and both Trevor Keegan and Danielson Ike sitting atop that board, it looks like the spot for another guard/tackle may no longer be available.
