College Football's Most Important Offers of the Week

Sanjay KirpalaniJun 7, 2016

Although not many SEC programs are fond of Big Ten power Michigan these days, LSU head coach Les Miles may be one of the few, considering he is a Wolverine alum. 

Current Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh has ruffled some feathers because of his recruiting tactics, which have paid some dividends in territories occupied by schools in SEC country.

Last week, LSU offered 3-star safety and current Wolverines pledge J’Marick Woods, who hails from Florence, Alabama.

The 6’3”, 205-pounder, who has been committed to the Wolverines since March, is currently pegged as the nation’s No. 25 safety and the No. 331 player overall in the 2017 cycle.

Woods took a visit to Ann Arbor in April for Michigan’s spring game, and he left that trip content with his commitment, as detailed by Steve Lorenz of Wolverine247.

"It's a good feeling being a part of the Michigan family," Woods told Lorenz. "I feel great about the recruiting part of football being over. Now I can focus on my senior season and work on getting better for when I get here to play in college."

However, given the Tigers’ history of producing top-flight defensive backs, Woods’ recruitment could get interesting if he decides to give LSU’s program a serious look.

While he seems solid with the Wolverines for now, the critical thing to watch is whether or not he decides to take a trip to Baton Rouge in the near future.

Nebraska Offers Rising California DB 

One player who has emerged on the national radar during the spring camp circuit is 3-star corner Jaylon Johnson.

The 6’0.5”, 177-pounder put in a dominant performance at the Nike Opening Regional in Oakland, California, last month after winning the ratings MVP, the fastest man challenge and the MVP for the defensive backs segment.

His offer list figures to get a boost in the coming months, and last week Big Ten member Nebraska joined the short list of schools in pursuit of Johnson.

Among the other schools in the running for Johnson are California, Florida, Oklahoma and USC. 

The Cornhuskers, who have had a good measure of success recently in recruiting the state of California, would do well to secure a visit from Johnson, who admitted he’s pondering his next move in terms of taking trips to see the programs he’s interested in. 

“I haven’t planned any official visits yet. I am in the process of lining up some visits I’ll take in the next few months,” Johnson told Bleacher Report last month. “I want to go to some of the out-of-state schools I’m interested in. I just don’t know them yet.”

Stanford Offers In-State WR

Two of Stanford’s five current commitments are from in-state tight ends Colby Parkinson and Tucker Fisk.

Last week, Cardinal head coach David Shaw and his staff offered another talented in-state pass-catcher in 3-star receiver Jamire Calvin.

The Los Angeles product has more than 20 offers to his credit entering the summer, with programs such as Arizona, Arizona State, California and Nebraska among the programs in hot pursuit of his commitment.

However, his recruitment could shift significantly with the Cardinal now officially in the picture for his services.

North Carolina After 4-Star ATH

Even though 4-star athlete Jermani Brown now resides in the heart of ACC country, only two of his 11 offers came from ACC schools.

Last week, North Carolina joined fellow ACC members Syracuse and Virginia in tendering the Midlothian High School (Virginia) playmaker. 

The 5’11”, 175-pounder, who could play either receiver or defensive back at the next level, was once committed to Arizona State before reopening his recruitment in April.

As Ross Martin of 247Sports noted, Brown is one of a handful of recruits in the Mid-Atlantic region the Tar Heels are heavily pursuing in the 2017 cycle.

Best of the Rest

  • Michigan State and Penn State offered 4-star corner and current Oklahoma commit Trajan Bandy.
  • Virginia offered 3-star running back and current James Madison commit PK Kier.
