The Ducks did have the inside track thanks to his half brother Na’eem Offord.

The Wolverines have totally reloaded on the offensive side of the ball this offseason and Justice Haynes will be a big part of their offense going forward. The former Alabama standout should thrive in Michigan’s run-heavy offense, even if he ends up splitting time with up-and-comer Jordan Marshall.
Head coach Sherrone Moore and the Michigan offense will certainly lean on the running game as they develop five-star quarterback signee Bryce Underwood.

Missouri isn’t just elated to have Ahmad Hardy onboard because he is an excellent player. The Tigers needed Hardy after losing freshman Kewan Lacy to Ole Miss.
Hardy was a star for ULM as a freshman – running for 1,351 yards and 13 touchdowns. Now he has three seasons of eligibility remaining as he looks to continue his productive ways in the SEC.
