It was another busy recruiting weekend with a dozen Florida high school football players announcing their college decision.
Michigan made a strong statement on Sunday, getting commitments from two IMG players — running back Donovan Johnson and interior offensive lineman Kaden Strayhorn — within a few hours of each other.
Miami kept up its momentum from the beginning of the week by adding Miami Central safety Amari Wallace and linebacker Ezekiel Marcelin over the weekend.
LSU picked up a commitment from Tampa Robinson edge rusher LaJesse Harrold, who has emerged as one of the premier recruits in the state over the past six months. Harrold is the first Florida player to commit to the Tigers this cycle, but it’s certainly a big win.

Here’s a look at the biggest winners from the weekend.
Michigan
IMG running back Donovan Johnson committed to Michigan on Sunday.
The Wolverines hit the daily double on Sunday with Johnson and Strayhorn. Reality is, we’re probably at the point where it will be more of a surprise when an IMG player or two doesn’t commit to Michigan. The list is highlighted by a pair of NFL first-round draft picks: New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz and Minnesota Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy. Johnson missed last season with an injury, but he’s got an ideal blend of size and speed when healthy. Strayhorn was one of the most coveted interior linemen in the state and can play any of the three inside spots. Add in the commitment of Cocoa junior quarterback Brady Hart and it was a strong week for the Wolverines.
