Michigan offered 2021 East Lansing (MI) East Lansing wide receiver Andrel Anthony, Jr. after camp today. He has offers from Indiana and a bunch of MAC schools.

Michigan also offered 2021 Illinois wide receiver Landon Morris (6'6", 195 lbs.), who is transferring from Indiana in order to play at La Grange Park (IL) Nazareth Academy with J.J. McCarthy. Michigan has offered a couple other teammates at Nazareth, including defensive end Ryan Keeler and 2022 wide receiver Tyler Morris.

Magnus bringing that sweet sweet recruiting insight.

Love the measurables and speed. Would like to see Anthony against something other than the soft release coverage. He's just flying past it. Wonder how well he can release when he's getting bumped in close man coverage. Good hands though.

This kid could be nice recruit to pick up early on. He's a big target with decent speed and the thing that stuck out the most to me was his ability to high point the ball and also alway catch the ball at his shoulders or above. For a sophomore in HS, he looks solid

I know that people want high character kids coming into this program and this one is definitely that. His father has been a friend of mine for years and his mom is a great woman. They raised a great kid. His dad is a UM fan as well so that may help a little.

Will he have a melt down and consider Purdue if something changes physically and he should flex and play TE and some WR?

Coached Drel for years...great kid, amazing athlete, good size and borderline elite speed. Oh yeah, his family loves UM and he's a 4.0 student. Go Blue!

I really like this kid. A lot of positive comments in here about kid and family, plus I’d argue there’s nothing borderline about his speed for his size. 6’2 guys running in the 4.4s doesn’t happen much.

Needs to add more muscle than the average high school WR, but doing that shouldn’t be a problem. Only question there is if he maintains flexibility, change of direction, all that.
