Michigan Football: 15 targets on 2022 defensive wish list

There’s no question that Michigan football is putting together a really solid recruiting class in 2021 and it’s an effort that’s gone well particularly in the past two months.

Before the dead period in March, Michigan football had just two commitments for its 2021 class and it had zero on defense. Since then, 17 players have committed to the Wolverines, including 10 on the defensive side of the ball.

It took a little while, but the Wolverines eventually started landing the kind of blue-chip talent they are accustomed to on defense led by Junior Colson, who is 116th overall according to the 247 composite rankings and the third-ranked player overall in Michigan’s class.
