Erik Swenson No Longer A Michigan Commit

Michigan's first commitment in the 2016 class is a Wolverine no longer. Downers Grove (Ill.) South offensive lineman Erik Swenson has re-opened his recruitment.

Swenson, a four-star ranked the No. 227 overall prospect and No. 15 offensive tackle nationally, is considered the No. 2 senior in Illinois. He committed to the Maize and Blue Nov. 25, 2013, when Brady Hoke was still the Wolverines' head coach.

All of Michigan's commitments under the previous coaching staff have now moved on from their Wolverine commitments, with linebacker Dele' Harding and quarterback Messiah deWeaver decommitting, as well.

The Wolverines and the 6-5, 300-pound Swenson have been moving toward a mutual split for several weeks now, though it appears to be primarily the Michigan coaching staff's decision, not Swenson's.

Michigan is down to 22 total commitments and three offensive linemen (four-stars Ben Bredeson, Michael Onwenu, and Devery Hamilton) in the 2016 class.
