Wolverine TV: Breaking down new Michigan DB commit D'Juan Waller

Michigan picked up a verbal commitment from three-star defensive back D’Juan Waller shortly following his official visit on Sunday.

The Youngstown (Ohio) Chaney product sided with Michigan over fellow finalist Kentucky. He was initially committed to Toledo before backing out of his pledge this fall.

The Wolverine’s EJ Holland shares his thoughts on Waller and explains how the Wolverines were able to seal the deal with the late riser.

Waller notched a Michigan offer in the fall and began trending soon after. He made an unofficial visit for the win over Illinois and returned for an official visit this weekend.

At 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, Waller is ranked as the No. 63 safety and No. 688 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Consensus. He is projected to play cornerback at Michigan.

Waller has an On3 NIL Valuation of $12.7K with 1,700 combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Michigan now has 20 commits in its 2023 recruiting class — On300 offensive lineman Nathan Efobi, On300 offensive tackle Evan Link, On300 EDGE Enow Etta, consensus four-star offensive lineman Amir Herring, four-star running back Cole Cabana, four-star linebacker Semaj Bridgeman, four-star tight end Deakon Tonielli, three-star wide receivers Semaj Morgan and Fredrick Moore, three-star defensive linemen Brooks Bahr and Roderick Pierce, three-star running back Benjamin Hall, three-star EDGE Aymeric Koumba, three-star tight end Zack Marshall, three-star athlete Breeon Ishmail, three-star athletes Kendrick Bell and Jason Hewlett, three-star defensive backs Cameron Calhoun and D’Juan Waller and three-star kicker Adam Samaha.
