The Michigan recruiting train keeps picking up steam. Defensive line coach Lou Esposito has demonstrated that he is genuinely an elite-level recruiter, and his skills have landed Michigan another monster in the trenches. Four-star Julian Walker has committed to the Wolverine program, completing a defensive line haul that could be the best in the nation.

As Michigan continues to add blue-chip commits, it is rising in the team rankings, reaching as high as eighth in the country on some sites. It looks like they have more talent heading their way in the next few days. Social media erupted with the news of Walker's commitment as fans, players, and analysts took to the internet to praise Michigan's latest recruiting win.

I WANT TO THANK GOD FIRST, FOR BLESSING ME WITH A SKILLSET TO PLAY THE GAME I LOVE. SECONDLY, I APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO HAS STOOD BY ME UP UNTIL THIS DECISION. THIS WAS NOT AN EASY CHOICE, BUT IM % CONFIDENT & GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY & MICHIGAN 〽️ - GO BLUE
