Michigan pushing to flip Michigan State LB commit

While the Michigan Wolverines may be on their bye week, that doesn't mean their recruiting efforts are taking the week off. Instead, much of the Michigan coaching staff will be hitting the road later this week to visit with recruits from across the country.

One of the guys the Wolverines have their eye on is Michigan State linebacker commit Braylon Hodge. Brian Jean-Mary, the Wolverines' linebacker coach, is heading to Englewood, Calif. to visit with Hodge and watch him play on Thursday night.

Hodge Already Has a Visit Lined Up With Michigan

The Wolverines were a bit late to the party with Hodge, but that doesn't mean the four-star linebacker isn't seriously considering them. He already has a visit lined up and will be in town for Michigan's October 4th showdown against the Wisconsin Badgers, and he wants to make another visit with them later this fall, per On3.

However, it won't be easy to get Hodge to flip. He's currently committed to Michigan's arch rivals, the Michigan State Spartans, and has been rock solid since his pledge in June. However, he certainly seems interested in the Wolverines, and if Sherrone Moore and Brian Jean-Mary play their cards right, they could steal one of the Spartans' top recruits from under their nose.
