Rivals.com just released updated rankings for the 2017 class, and two top Wolverine targets, DT Aubyey Solomon and LB Jordan Anthony, are now five-stars.
Anthony, an IMG Academy product who is expected to announce in December, went from the No. 70 overall recruit to No. 26.
“Anthony is the most active member of an IMG defense that might just be the nation’s best. He moves incredibly well laterally and is a versatile player that shined as a running back before moving to linebacker full time. He’s as disruptive a linebacker as there is in the class and seems to be in the backfield on most snaps. Michigan, Maryland and Auburn are in the hunt to land Anthony, who seems to be a Wolverines lean.” – Rob Cassidy, Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst

Aubrey Solomon, a one-time Michigan pledge, went from No. 94 to the No. 30 player in the country:
“In a year where elite defensive tackles are hard to come by, one look at Solomon and you can see that he’s got the potential to be a special talent. After playing both ways as a junior, he has excelled while focusing solely on defensive line as a senior. He’s a big body that can move and create problems as a pass-rusher as well as stop the run, something that is hard to find in a player his size. Michigan, Georgia and Alabama are among the schools battling for his services.” – Wommack
Other Michigan targets who are five-star prospects to Rivals – No. 1 Najee Harris, No. 6 Isaiah Wilson, No. 13 Donovan Peoples-Jones, No. 15 Darnay Holmes and No. 19 Alex Leatherwood.
