Where Michigan stands in updated On3 Consensus national team recruiting rankings
Michigan has jumped to No. 22 in the 2023 On3 Consensus National Team Recruiting Rankings board following the verbal commitment of Cincinnati (Ohio) Winton Woods three-star cornerback Cameron Calhoun.
Calhoun becomes the first cornerback to join the Wolverines this cycle. Ranked in the top 15 among all senior Ohio native prospects, per the On3 Consensus, chose Michigan over offers from Kentucky and Michigan State. Calhoun was a former pledge to both Cincinnati and West Virginia.
Calhoun first visited Ann Arbor for the Illinois game last week, one month after receiving an offer from Steve Clinkscale. He was in Columbus for the win over the Buckeyes and committed less than an hour following the fourth quarter finish.
“Brotherhood,” Calhoun told On3 Sports. “The way I was bonding with people that I didn’t even know. As soon as I met them, it was like I knew them for years, and how protective they are over each other. The way they are about their business on and off the field definitely stood out.”
