The Wolverines have been trending with the in-state linebacker for a while now. After being considered a heavy MSU lean early in the cycle, Beasley is now considered a heavy Michigan lean. The linebacker is set to commit June 29th, after he takes official visits to MSU (June 2nd), Illinois (June 9th), Michigan (June 16th), and Missouri (June 23rd).

While it is slightly worrying that Missouri is getting the last visit, as recency bias is a very real thing, I don’t think there is any concern right now for the Wolverines.

Michigan has been trending for Beasley, and the improved relations with Belleville High School has made Michigan football a very viable option for their players.

Barring a massive change, Beasley should become a Wolverine when he commits on the 29th. Ranked as the #321 player in the nation, Beasley would be a good addition for the Wolverines, who are stocking up on linebackers in this class.

Rebuilding the Belleville pipeline is key for the Wolverines, as they consistently produce some of the top talents in the state, if not the nation.
