College Football's Most Important Offers of the Week

One area that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has sought to make an impact on in the recruiting trail is the state of Florida.

The Wolverines already have four commitments in the 2016 cycle who hail from the Sunshine State.

Last week, Harbaugh and his staff offered another Florida playmaker in 3-star wide receiver Eddie McDoom, according to Steve Lorenz of Wolverine247.

As Lorenz notes, the Wolverines only have one pure receiver committed, and the position is one that the coaching staff would like to add more talent to in the months leading up to signing day. 

The 5’11”, 170-pound McDoom has more than 20 offers to his credit, with schools such as Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Kentucky and Texas among the programs who have tendered him. 

McDoom, who hauled in 47 receptions for 854 yards and 15 touchdowns as a junior, took an unofficial visit to Kentucky last month. Currently, the Wildcats are the perceived favorites in his recruitment.

However, it remains to be seen how hard the Wolverines plan to push for McDoom and whether or not the contact between the two parties will lead to a visit.

Given the Wolverines' mission of targeting the talent-rich Sunshine State, their offer to McDoom signals that they plan to make that territory a focal point under Harbaugh moving forward.

JUCO DE Nets Four Big Offers

With signing day a little more than three months away, teams across the country are beginning to scour the JUCO ranks in search of prospects who can come in and immediately fill holes next fall. 

One such prospect is defensive end Jonathan Kongbo, who saw his list expand with offers from four schools in various Power Five conferences last week.

Auburn, Louisville, Nebraska and Washington all tendered the 6’6”, 260-pounder, who currently attends Arizona Western College.

Alabama, Arizona, Ole Miss and Tennessee are among the other schools actively recruiting Kongbo. 

He visited Ole Miss on Oct. 24 and has plans to visit Auburn on Nov. 21. Given his raw ability as a pass-rusher, expect more schools to jump in the race for Kongbo in the coming weeks.

Notre Dame Offers 2017 5-Star DE

Notre Dame already landed a stud from IMG Academy in 2016 4-star running back Tony Jones Jr.

Irish head coach Brian Kelly has his sights set on another IMG star in rising 5-star junior defensive end Joshua Kaindoh, who received an offer from the Irish last week.

The 6’6”, 237-pounder is rated as the nation’s top weak-side defensive end prospect and the No. 15 recruit overall in the 2017 cycle.

Alabama, Maryland, Ohio State and Penn State are among the schools who are actively in the race with Kaindoh at this stage of his recruitment.

Georgia Offers 2017 Alabama Pledge

One area that Georgia head coach Mark Richt has sought to solidify in recruiting is keeping top in-state prospects from leaving the state and heading to rival schools. 

Two months ago, 4-star safety Xavier McKinney committed to fellow SEC power Alabama. However, the Bulldogs officially jumped into the race for McKinney after offering him last week.

The 6’1”, 170-pounder rates as the No. 13 safety and the No. 214 player overall in the 2017 class.

While McKinney hasn’t given any indication that he plans to back off his pledge to the Tide, his recruitment could get intriguing if Richt and his staff turn up the heat on him moving forward.
