Michigan football beat out Michigan State for one of the state's top junior running backs.
Cole Cabana, a three-star prospect out of Dexter, chose the Wolverines on Saturday among scholarship offers from MSU, Cincinnati, Purdue, West Virginia and more. He could have elected to play for the Spartans alongside Dexter teammate Brennan Paraceck, arguably the best tight end prospect in the state.
The 247 Sports' composite rankings have Cabana as the top running back, and seventh-best prospect overall, in Michigan. He's a top-30 RB nationally, according to 247.
He thanked several people during his announcement — including his parents, grandparents, coaches and recruiters from all schools — before putting on a Michigan hat and unveiling a maize-and-blue shirt.
