Michigan football seems to have hit a home run this past weekend and more recruits are starting to get projected to the Wolverines. 

The summer has been littered with commitments for Michigan football in the past two recruiting cycles and it looks like that will be the case once again in the 2022 class.

Michigan football entered “Victors Weekend” with seven total commitments. The Wolverines now stand at nine as CJ Stokes and Aaron Alexander, two three-star recruits pledged to Michigan over the weekend, literally within just a few hours of each other.

Three-star wide receiver Dillon Bell also started to trend with crystal ball predictions and could be the next recruit to commit, although D’Arco Perkins-McAllister and Alessandro Lorenzetti, two other 2022 recruits could beat him to the punch.

Perkins-McAllister was offered back in April and he had a relationship with assistant coach Steve Clinkscale who was at Kentucky before. The recruit from Nashville is ranked 297th overall and also 20th among safeties. He’s 6-foot-1, 185-pounds, and the No. 11 prospect in the state of Tennessee.

Michigan has started to make a move recently and following his visit to Ann Arbor, it seems like the Wolverines have pulled in front, at least according to Steve Wiltfong of 247 sports who put in a crystal ball for him to land at U-M.

Lorenzetti is a 6-foot-6 offensive tackle out of Windsor, Connecticut, and prior to a recent offer from the Wolverines, he was considered to be a Michigan State lean. That was also where his only crystal ball was projecting him — Michigan State.

That is until Sunday when Wiltfong put in another crystal ball for the O-lineman to wind up Michigan football.

Lorenzetti is a three-star recruit and is sort of like Alexander in that he is currently unranked in the 247 sports composite rankings. The 285-pounder is ranked 93rd among offensive tackles by 247 sports. He also visited Penn State recently and his offer list has been growing. It includes Georgia, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Syracuse, and Virginia Tech, as well as Michigan State.

Obviously, expert predictions don’t always come true, but with Lorenzetti, there are two Futurecast picks from Rivals including EJ Holland, the Michigan expert.

All those signs are positive and are another example of an effective recruiting weekend for the Wolverines.
