Michigan Football Recruiting: Wolverines Make 4-Star 2016 Defensive End's Final Five

The Michigan Wolverines remain in the running for coveted 2016 Darien (IL) Hinsdale South defensive end Josh King, making the cut as King announced the final five schools in the running for his signature via Twitter on Friday:

While King says explicitly in his tweet that the list is in no order, experts speculate that the rival Michigan State Spartans have the inside track to pick up his pledge.

However, it's also speculated that Michigan is currently running second behind the Spartans right now. So, it's possible Jim Harbaugh and the crew are just one great visit away from pulling even or ahead of the Spartans.

Stay tuned.
