Detroit Free Press: Michigan heavy favorite to land top in-state prospect Jalen Mayfield
Next Tuesday, Grand Rapids Catholic Central 2018 four-star offensive lineman Jalen Mayfield will make his college decision, with Michigan considered the heavy favorite for his services.
All 15 predictions on Mayfield's 247Sports Crystal Ball are in favor of the Wolverines, who altered the trajectory of his recruitment when they offered him a scholarship March 24th, spurring Mayfield's decommitment from P.J. Fleck and Minnesota. He originally committed to the Golden Gophers in February after an unofficial visit.
U-M tackles coach Greg Frey has led the charge for Mayfield, who is 24/7 Sports' top recruit in the state. He is No. 6 on the 24/7Sports Composite. He fits Frey's mold at offensive tackle as an undersized (weight-wise) but athletic player who will thrive in a college-level weight room. Mayfield has helped his case as a top-level prospect in the past couple months following a strong performance at a Nike camp in Chicago. 247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons recently made him the state's top prospect in the 2018 class.
