Report: Five-star DL Marcus Fakatou changes visit plans
· Yahoo Sports
Michigan football got some good news on Tuesday with the announcement that 2027 Salt Lake City (Utah) West four-star quarterback Kamden Lopati was committing to the Wolverines. But that wasn't the only piece of positive recruiting on the day.=
With the spring game fast approaching, set to take place on Saturday, the maize and blue have been working hard behind the scenes to fill out the 2027 class. Though much of it will likely be done in the late spring and early summer weeks, when official visits commence, there's an unofficial visit set to take place this weekend that could set the Wolverines up for the future.

Michigan had long been trending for 2027 Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon five-star defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou, but many schools have been working overtime to woo him to their program. Fakatou has already visited Ann Arbor and while he was set to come for the spring game, it had appeared that he was going to visit Texas instead. However, his plans have reversed course, according to The Wolverine's Ethan McDowell: (subscription required)
Fakatou will visit Michigan for Saturday’s spring game. Just a couple of days ago, he planned on traveling to Texas instead. The elite defensive lineman said he talked things over with his family and decided to spend this weekend in Ann Arbor as previously planned.
There is much more intel that McDowell acknowledges, including how the Wolverines are working the recruitment.
ESPN is highest on Fakatou, having him as the No. 21 prospect in the country, regardless of position. He's listed at 6-foot-7, 295 pounds, and is strongly considering other programs such as Notre Dame, Texas, USC, and Ohio State.
