Newsstand: Watch Jim Harbaugh's FaceTime call with four-star Michigan CB signee Jyaire Hill
Tweets Of The Day
On300 defensive back Jyaire Hill pulled the trigger and signed with Michigan over fellow finalist Illinois. He also held offers from Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCLA, Washington, Wisconsin and others.
Hill seesawed back and forth between Illinois and Michigan for the majority of the recruiting cycle. In the end, however, Hill felt most comfortable at Michigan.
“I like the coaches,” Hill said. “We’ve built a good connection. I like the stadium and the fans. The environment there is great.”
Those coaches — head man Jim Harbaugh and co-defensive coordinator Steve Clinkscale — hopped on the phone with him almost immediately after he signed his letter of intent. Watch part of their FaceTime, courtesy of our Zach Libby.
