Jim Harbaugh, Mike Elston and the Michigan Wolverines just picked up a key piece to their 2023 class today in the form of three-star defensive lineman Roderick “Trey” Pierce.
The 6-foot-3, 293-pounder from Oak Lawn, Illinois was formerly committed to the Wisconsin Baders, but reopened his recruitment last month. Michigan offered him while he was still a Wisconsin commit back on Oct. 22. He took two trips to Ann Arbor for the Michigan State and Nebraska games and then had an in-home visit with Harbaugh this week.
Illinois was after him pretty hard after his decommitment from Wisconsin, as was Texas which jumped in with an offer last month, but it was Elston and the Wolverines who were able to lock this thing up before the beginning of the early signing period next week.
