Defensive line coach Shaun Nua landed his first big-time recruit on the trail that is all his own when 2021 four-star Quintin Somerville committed to Michigan on Saturday. Nua used his existing relationship with Somerville from his time at Arizona State and an excellent visit last April, which still resonates with him over a year later, to seal the deal.
Somerville has been considered a top 100 prospect for most of the time he has been on the recruiting services’ radar, starting out at No. 5 overall in the initial class of 2021 rankings. However, he has recently started to slide to the 150ish range he is at now because of questions about his size.
