| Brandon Peters |
Outlook: Peters has continued to look like one of the best passers in the nation after making a name for himself on the summer camp circuit. He plans on enrolling early and he could be in contention for the starting job as a freshman next fall.
RB - Kareem Walker, Kingston Davis, Kiante Enis (Chris Evans)
Outlook: Walker is the one everybody wanted and he is now committed to the program after flipping from Ohio State. It's a huge win in recruiting for Harbaugh and company but it won't mean much unless they start winning championships. Davis is a solid prospect out of SEC country that looks like a throwback smash-mouth runner. He could play fullback too if needed. Enis will get some looks on offense but will most likely play defense someday for the team. Evans will also get some looks as an all-around offensive threat and he could be dangerous on third downs.
FB - (Kingston Davis)
Outllook: Davis is considered more of a fullback by a lot of programs and recruiting services, and I am sure that he will get some looks there if things do not pan out as a primary ball-carrier.
WR - Ahmir Mitchell, Nate Johnson, Brad Hawkins, Chris Evans, (Kiante Enis, Sean McKeon)
Outlook: As talented of a group of receivers that Michigan has gathered up in a long time. Mitchell is an elite athlete. Hawkins is as tough as they come. Evans and Johnson look like they can score from anywhere. Any QB that plays for Michigan in the near future should not have trouble finding guys to throw to.

| Sean McKeon |
Outlook: McKeon played on a terrible high school team and faced double teams on both offense and defense. He was clearly their best player who didn't get many targets but he runs a 4.6 forty and holds other offers from Boston College, UConn, Harvard, Syracuse, Temple, and Virginia Tech. Weaver could be a big blocking TE with enough athleticism to make defenses pay in the redzone.
OL - Ben Bredeson, Michael Onwenu, Devery Hamilton, Erik Swenson
Outlook: Looks like one of the best groups of blockers in the entire country. Bredeson could potentially play all five positions along the line. Onwenu could start right away at guard. Hamilton looks like he could play either tackle spot. And Swenson looks like a classic right tackle. One more interior line recruit and this could be one of the best groups ever to come to AA.
DL - Jordan Elliott, Rashad Weaver (Ron Johnson, Michael Onwenu, Devery Hamilton)
Outlook: The Wolverines do not need to add a ton of talent here right now, but they are getting one of the best in Elliott. Weaver is an underrated prospect who also carries offers from Syracuse, Temple, and Illinois. If Johnson, who had offers from the likes of 'Bama, MSU, and OSU, gains more weight he could develop into a strong-side end. Onwenu and Hamilton have experience playing both ways so don't count them out of the picture either.

| Carlo Kemp |
Outlook: Johnson and Kemp will boost the talent level at the weak-side end ("Buck") position, but Johnson could end up on the strong-side and Kemp could eventually play linebacker.
LB - Devin Bush Jr., Dytarious Johnson, Devin Gil (Carlo Kemp)
Outlook: Johnson and Gil are both players that could play safety but are being recruited to play linebacker at Michigan. They may not possess the natural size that a lot of programs covet but they do have the speed. Devin Bush Jr. also has the speed and height of a safety, but he has the bulk and plays with the mentality of a linebacker. Harbaugh and company expect him to contribute next fall.
S - Josh Metellus (Ahmir Mitchell, Kiante Enis)
Outlook: Metellus looks like a scrappy defender with better overall quickness and change of direction than straight ahead speed. Mitchell's size (6'3"/206 lbs) and athleticism provide an intriguing prospect here too, as does Enis' if things don't workout on offense.
CB - Sir Patrick Scott, Antwaine Richardson
Outlook: Scott and Richardson are solid prospects that should add depth to the secondary, but the team could use one more guy to add to the mix. Jourdan Lewis is expected to return despite getting All-American accolades this season, so there should be another year before we need anybody from this or 2014's class to step up.
