Michigan’s newest defensive line coach is expected to attract numerous elite recruits for the Wolverines.
As the spring game draws nearer, recruiting should pick up even more steam as the dead period is almost over. All of this naturally indicates that recruiters ought to schedule some visits to observe spring practices in March and April.
Maybe in spring, the Michigan Wolverines will be able to host some of the prospects that were covered in today’s Recruiting Roundup on campus. We’ll talk about three defensive linemen that Michigan has been targeting today; two of them have expressed excitement about Michigan’s new defensive line coach on the record.
When word spread that Mike Elston was leaving Michigan to become Jim Harbaugh’s defensive line coach and join the Los Angeles Rams, a four-star prospect was thrilled for Greg Scruggs to be at Ann Arbor.
Naturally, this alludes to the three Crystal Ball forecasts that the Wolverines would land Williams. However, Williams is ecstatic that head coach Sherrone Moore has (unofficially) signed former Wisconsin defensive line coach Greg Scruggs for the same role.
Williams said to Brice Marich of The Michigan Insider, “That’s crazy.” “Adding Scruggs is still a huge upgrade, in my opinion. That’s huge for Michigan because coach Scruggs and I have a great relationship that has grown since he began recruiting me early in my sophomore year.
Scruggs was recruiting Williams when he was still with the Badgers, as he hinted at. Williams is accustomed to Scruggs, so Michigan should be able to hold onto this prospect for the duration.
Getting him back to Ann Arbor will be the next task. He was in town for the Big House BBQ in July of last year, and he last came for The Game versus Ohio State in November. According to Allen Trieu of 247Sports, Williams already has official visits scheduled for June 15 in Tennessee and June 22 in Nebraska. As a result, Michigan should plan to welcome him back to campus during one of those two weekends in June.
