Michigan is making steady progress with Windsor (Ontario) Holy Names tight end Theo Johnson. At one point, the recruiting battle was more regional with schools like Penn State and Iowa the primary competition.

While those schools are still in the mix, the rest of the country has found out about Johnson. He is over 6-foot-6, runs the 40-yard dash in the 4.6-second range and after putting in a lot of time in the weight room, now looks college ready at 240 pounds despite still having another year of high school left.

That has brought schools like Alabama, Georgia and others from the south into the mix.
