Wolverines take lead for elite cornerback who compares himself to Dax Hill

Michigan has been grinding on the recruiting trail over the past two to three weeks, trying to make up for some lost momentum and the swirling rumors of impending NCAA doom. The staff has been hosting swaths of elite recruits every weekend, pairing them with current commits and future leaders of the program to make a positive impact. Some of that hard work has been paying off, as national recruiting sites have moved the Wolverines into the lead for a few blue-chip-level prospects.

One of those top-tiered recruits is Texas-based cornerback Donovan Webb. Webb is a composite four-star recruit and ranked 333rd nationally. He has the size, standing at 6-feet tall, and speed to cover slot receivers and jam and jump with larger receivers on the edge. His high school highlights show a ferocious hitter who is willing to come up quickly to assist in the run game as well. After an "amazing" visit to Ann Arbor, On3 has given the Wolverines a 21.4% chance of landing Webb, who had this to say about his own game.
