Jalen Perry Commits to Michigan
Michigan picks up a versatile defensive back out of Georgia:
2019 four-star cornerback Jalen Perry (Dacula, GA) committed to Michigan over South Carolina on Saturday, giving the Wolverines their second top target at the cornerback position this cycle from the state of Georgia.
Perry was a Georgia commit until a month or two ago, when Georgia gave him the "we like you as a safety" talk and he decided to peace out. South Carolina was the other major contender in the aftermath of his decommitment but Auburn and Florida both hosted him on officials and seemed to have committable offers out.
Perry is Michigan's 26th commitment at the moment, but the writing appears to be on the wall with TN RB Eric Gray after he didn't come up for either the Penn State or Indiana games.
There's been a bit of a backlog when it comes to hello posts since [gestures to season] and this will get added to it; I'll knock those out in December.

Who dat?

Fantastic news and looks like a great get. Looking forward to him patrolling the defensive backfield.

Welcome home! Big commit on a big week!!! GO BLUE !

This is the type of commitment you get as a product of winning and having an elite type season.
November 19th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
Winning attracts winners. Let's keep this cycle of success going! Beat the Buckeyes and let's get another big time recruit out of their backyard.
November 19th, 2018 at 5:49 PM ^
Welcome aboard. Go Blue!!!

Lol he got "safety-zoned" by UGA.
"Sorry, we only like you as a safety. I hope we can maintain our relationship though"
November 19th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
We've all been there, buddy. And yeah, it hurts for a while, but sometimes that just means you'll have to opportunity to be with a program that loves you for who you are: a CB with a lot to offer.
November 20th, 2018 at 5:27 AM ^
Let me guess, they gave you the "it's not you, it's me" routine...
November 19th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
Welcome, Jalen!! Wise decision young man!! Enthused that you will be joining the leaders and best!!
November 19th, 2018 at 8:16 PM ^
Let me rephrase your last sentence:
I'll knock those out in December, after the OSU and B1G Championship game UFR's get posted.
November 19th, 2018 at 8:22 PM ^
Welcome young man
November 19th, 2018 at 8:31 PM ^
What happens if next year Brown tells him to play safety?
November 19th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
He'll say "I will be most happy to play alongside Dax".
Another outstanding prospect to join the ranks!
November 19th, 2018 at 10:55 PM ^
Could happen, but I think Brown sees a long DB who can cover bigger WR. It’s not even about the position with Brown as much as it is how he can use this guy as a defensive weapon. Solve your problems with aggression!
November 20th, 2018 at 7:46 AM ^
I do agree here. And with a player like Daxton at safety this will provide a wonderful amount of flexibility for the secondary...both in schemes and personnel.
November 19th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Welcome aboard. It's crazy how this year's success has allowed them to really jump back onto recruits' radars.
November 19th, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
Plus playing defense for Don Brown has to be fun as hell.
November 19th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
That’s what happens when you far too much time @Yost running over people going back to your seat.
heh.
This is nice problem to have.
November 20th, 2018 at 12:05 AM ^
We beat out all of the competition in the southeast, plus OSU, plus Stanford, landing this guy. The train is rolling. GO BLUE!

With all the commits from warm-weather states (and few from Michigan), it just proves that global warming is for real! Except that the last month has been 20 degrees colder than normal every day up here in the not-so-frozen north.
