Michigan Wolverines football was in the mix until the very end for Detroit Martin Luther King 2023 five-star quarterback Dante Moore, but the Maize and Blue lost out to Oregon.

Moore committed to Oregon during a live airing of ESPN Sports Center. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder committed to Oregon over Notre Dame, Michigan, LSU, Texas A&M and others.

Moore is the nation’s No. 8 ranked player in the On3 Consensus Rankings. He is the nation’s No. 4 quarterback in those same rankings.

Michigan landed a verbal commitment from four-star EDGE Collins Acheampong Friday afternoon.

The Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.) High product picked Michigan over Miami. He also held offers from LSU, Oregon, Texas, USC, Washington and others.

“They have a good setup and plan,” Acheampong said. “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. They have something that’s working. My goal is to make to the first round in the league. They already have a working prototype for someone my size, height and skillset.

“In recent years, they’ve had Kwity Paye, David Ojabo, who would have gone first round if not for his injury, and Aidan Hutchinson, who has about the same body type as me. Combine that with education, and it’s becoming a no-brainer.”

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and defensive line coach Mike Elston have made Acheampong a top overall priority this cycle, and both made impacts on him during his official visit this summer.

Quote Of The Day

“The coaches are cool from the head coach all the way down. If you need to talk to the head coach, he’s there. Coach Harbaugh is like someone I’ve known my whole life. He’s like that one uncle at the family reunion. Coach Elston is more like a dad figure. The way he would take care of you is the way he would take care of his kids. I got to meet his family, and the same way he talks to them is the same way he talks to me. I wouldn’t be getting anything different.”
