Justin Rogers

When it comes to the top prospects in the state of Michigan, no one really compares to Rogers, who is the No. 16 overall prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. Yet, so far, Michigan is behind the 8-ball as both Georiga and Ohio State are the early favorites to land the offensive guard.

When it comes to Rogers crystal ball predictions, 53 percent of them are going with Ohio State right now, while the majority of the rest are going to Georgia.

That’s not a great sign for Michigan football but this past weekend, Rodgers visited Ann Arbor and it seems that the Wolverines are getting back into contention for the elite offensive lineman that is 6-foot 2, 315 pounds.

Michigan should have an opening at guard in 2020, so he could step in and start right away, but before that happens, the Wolverines have some serious ground to make up. If they can’t, they will let a top offensive lineman prospect from the state of Michigan escape for the second straight year.
