In stark contrast to most of the history under Jim Harbaugh and the state of the cornerback board, recruiting at safety is going extremely well this cycle.
This is somewhat surprising, given Michigan signed a pair of 4-stars in the 2019 class, including the No. 1 player at the position in the entire country in Daxton Hill. However, the coaches are able to point at the starting spot Josh Metellus will vacate after this season as a chance to make an immediate impact.
That pitch is seemingly working on a plethora of top-tier prospects.
