A powerful visit encounter, coupled with Tony Alford’s recruitment, propels Michigan into the top consideration for RB Jordon Davison.
When Jordon Davison, the running back from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei, returned to Michigan’s campus for his third unofficial visit last week, he found the weather quite different from his first trip during the Michigan/Ohio State game in 2021.
Despite being familiar with the campus, Davison couldn’t help but reminisce about his chilly experience back then, recalling how he arrived straight from a game without socks and had to endure the cold until halftime when he could finally get some. Laughing about it during his post-visit chat at The Michigan Insider studio, Davison jokingly expressed his reluctance to return, but the Wolverines’ strong performance, particularly on the ground, reignited his interest in wearing the winged helmet.
