Michigan Football: Grading the Wolverines 2020 recruiting class

Michigan football isn’t quite done with the 2020 recruiting class, yet it’s mostly complete and here are grades for the offense, defense and overall.

For the most part, the 2020 recruiting class is now in the books for Michigan football. There is hope of adding a corner like Darion Green-Warren and possibly another prospect or two before February, but the 22 guys that signed Wednesday are the bulk of the additions.

While a few names still loom, such as Gaige Garcia, who is signing to wrestle for Michigan as well as play football, Nick Patterson, the younger brother of Shea Patterson and offensive lineman Micah Mazzccua.

It’s not clear why those guys haven’t signed and it will be interesting to see if all those names come in, but at this point, it’s expected that they will.

But the good news is that all the big names signed early for Michigan football Wednesday, starting with four-star defensive end Braiden McGregor, who was the first play to send in his letter of intent.

That’s fitting if you know of the great relationship between McGregor, the No. 2 recruit in the state of Michigan and the Wolverines. A.J. Henning, the top player in the state of Illinois and the top offensive recruit also signed.

On both sides of the ball, there is speed, athleticism and versatility. As of now, it’s the No. 2 class in the Big Ten and the No. 12 class in the country according to 247 sports. It could have been better, but also a lot worse and here are grades for 2020.
