One position that Michigan football is attacking in the 2021 recruiting class is tight end. The Wolverines have expressed interest in a number of highly-sought targets and seem especially focused on landing an elite tight end after missing out on Theo Johnson in 2020.
Matthew Hibner did come aboard as part of the 2020 class and the 6-foot-4 tight end did make a big jump in the rankings. He became a four-star prospect and he has a bright future but he’s probably not the mismatch that Johnson would have been.
The other problem is that Hibner was the only tight end to commit in the 2020 class.
