Expected Visitors List: Ohio State 2015

The biggest game of the year should bring the most impressive list of recruiting visitors, and this weekend Ann Arbor should live up to those expectations. Here's a first look at who we're expecting in town.

(All have been offered)

Hartland (Wisc.) Arrowhead offensive lineman Ben Bredeson (commit)
Bredeson is a 6-4, 280-pounder ranked the No. 4 offensive tackle and No. 60 overall prospect nationally, and the top senior in Wisconsin. He committed to Michigan June 17 over a who's-who of national programs. This will be his first game visit of the fall to U-M.

Houston (Texas) Elsik safety Chris Brown
Brown is a 5-11, 190-pound three-star unranked nationally or at his position. He has already taken official visits to UCLA and Arizona State, and will visit Ann Arbor (after previously seeing the Wolverines' spring game) along with teammate Dontavious Jackson.

Prattville (Ala.) runninf back Kingston Davis (commit)
Davis is a 6-0, 242-pound three-star ranked the No. 2 fullback nationally and the No. 15 senior in Alabama. He committed to U-M April 6, though he's also taken visits to programs like LSU, Nebraska, and Louisville since. He previously visited for the BYU game in September.

Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha offensive lineman Terrance Davis
Davis is a 6-4, 307-pounder ranked the No. 2 offensive guard and No. 46 overall prospect nationally, and the top senior in Maryland. He has long maintained that U-M tops a list that will also see him take officials to Georgia, UCLA, and Alabama.

Houston (Texas) Westside defensive tackle Jordan Elliott
Elliott is a 6-5, 300-pound three-star ranked the No. 28 defensive tackle nationally and the No. 52 senior in Texas.

Houston (Texas) Elsik linebacker Dontavious Jackson
Jackson is a 6-2, 238-pounder ranked the No. 11 inside linebacker nationally and the No. 36 senior in Texas. Michigan was a favorite after his previous visit for the spring game, but has fallen back to the pack. U-M has a chance to make a move for both he and teammate Chris Brown.

Miami (Fla.) High wide receiver Keyshawn Young
Young is a 5-11, 165-pound three-star ranked the No. 67 wide receiver nationally and the No. 57 senior in Florida. He previously named Michigan his favorite (ahead of Alabama and Florida), though this will be his first trip to campus.

Hawkins is a 6-2, 195-pounder ranked the No. 50 wide receiver and No. 224 overall prospect nationally, and the No. 7 senior in New Jersey.
