Roll Tide, Emil.

Ekiyor, a 6-foot-2, 322-pounder from Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, is the No. 2-ranked center in the 2018 class and the No. 105-ranked prospect nationally, according to 247Sports Composite.

He was Michigan's highest-rated commitment. That honor now belongs to four-star tight end Mustapha Muhammad, the No. 109-ranked player nationally.

Time after time, Ekiyor stoned elite defensive line recruits in one-on-one drills. He did it with technique and smoothness one night, when nobody in the drills wore pads. And when the pads came on, he mixed in raw strength without sacrificing fluidity.
