Knight to Rutgers & Your Signing Day Primer

Sean Parker is one of two four-star safeties that could commit to Michigan during tomorrow's National Signing Day.

College football’s National Signing Day is tomorrow, and although it signifies the first day that recruits can sign a letter of intent, it usually marks the last day in a prospect’s recruitment. With 26 prospects already committed, Michigan should have a relatively quiet NSD, but they are still in on a couple of big-time safety prospects. Unfortunately, one player Michigan was looking to have come in at defensive back came off the board today, as four-star safety Rashad Knight told SI he had chosen Rutgers over Michigan. That leaves three players for Michigan fans to keep an eye on over the next day or so, barring any unforeseen circumstances:

Demar Dorsey (Rivals 4*, #13 safety, #162 overall): Dorsey, a former Florida commit who had his offer pulled when he continued taking visits, will announce his decision at 1 pm tomorrow. He is expected to sign with Florida State, and USC has also become a major factor is his recruitment, but Michigan has an outside shot after an impressive in-home visit from several coaches last week. The odds are strong that Dorsey will be a Seminole, but stranger things have happened on signing day.

Sean Parker (Rivals 4*, #21 safety): Parker must be a morning person, as the California prospect has set his announcement for 7 am PST (10 am EST) tomorrow morning. His decision will come down to USC and Michigan, and this is a call that could go either way — insiders from both sides each seem to think their school has the inside track. With Knight going to Rutgers, Parker is Michigan’s best chance at adding a four-star safety to this year’s class — I like Michigan’s chances with him, but you always have to be wary when the opponent is USC (see: Johnson, Ronald and Perry, Nick).

Terry Talbott (Rivals 3*, #61 DT): Terry, along with his brother Terrence (3* CB), has been committed to Michigan since August, but he took a late January visit to North Carolina that caused him to take another look at his decision. His brother, who did not accompany Terry on his UNC visit, is still firmly committed to Michigan, and still expects that the brothers will attend the same school. According to The Wolverine’s Josh Helmholdt, Terry should have his final decision made by tonight. I’d be surprised if he didn’t end up at Michigan, simply because that would be spurning his own brother, but, again, you never know with football recruiting.

Updates will be posted as soon as information gets out. Hopefully Rich Rodriguez can one again work some signing-day magic.
