4. Willie Gay, 4-star OLB (Starkville, MS)

The Michigan Wolverines already have two OLB commits in this year’s class but a third commitment from Willie Gay would be huge.

Gay is a 6-foot-2, 223 pound outside linebacker prospect out of Starkville, Mississippi. Gay ranks 73rd nationally and is the third overall OLB in this year’s recruiting class. Early predictions have Gay choosing LSU but teams still await his final decision. He currently has a top-four which consists of LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Michigan.

He took a visit to Michigan back in October but he still remains a top target as National Signing Day approaches. With eight outside linebackers already on the roster for 2017, he could be a tough get, but Michigan continues to push.
