Trieu: Here are recruiting targets on tap to visit Michigan's spring game

Michigan’s Saturday spring game brings a strong group of recruits to campus.

In terms of visitors most likely to join the class, Buford (Georgia) linebacker Ethan Hauser may top the list. He just visited Michigan on April 9, is returning for this spring game and has an official visit to come back to Michigan again on June 19.

Dearborn Divine Child quarterback Drew Sheridan will visit Michigan for the Wolverines' spring game Saturday.

Hauser listed Michigan as his leader following his visit this month. Hauser is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound hybrid defender who projects to continue adding weight and playing in the box in college.

Four-star safety Isala Wily-Ava will be visiting. Washington is the heavy favorite for the 6-foot-2, 193-pound Bellflower (California) St. John Bosco product, and Arizona State is considered the Huskies’ biggest challenger, but Michigan is going to get an opportunity this weekend and then again for an official visit to close the gap. He has said Michigan is in his top three. The Wolverines will host a group of his teammates this weekend as well.

Another long, athletic safety Michigan is battling for is Baltimore St. Frances Academy's Elijah Butler. Butler is a rangy 6-foot-3, 180-pound prospect with excellent ball skills. Florida and Virginia Tech are two of Michigan’s toughest competitors in the race. This will be his first visit to Michigan.

Salem Hills (Utah) safety Peyton Higginson is yet another high-level recruit at that position coming to campus. Higginson has had a long-running relationship with the staff. BYU and Utah, where much of the staff came from, happen to be two of Higginson’s top schools. The Wolverines are really the lone school in the race that is not based out West, but relationships could carry the day here if he ends up choosing Michigan.
