Michigan football already has one running back committed in the 2025 class in three-star Jasper Parker. But it appears that the maize and blue are inching towards landing another.
Many schools were in on 2025 Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star Jordon Davison — including Michigan. But the Wolverines also hosted Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star tailback Donovan Johnson for a midweek visit this past week.
