Michigan football landed in the top 8 for 4-star linebacker Brayden Platt Tuesday afternoon, the only B1G program represented on his list.
Each of the Power 5 conference are represented on Platt’s list though. He’s also considering Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Miami, Texas A&M, UCLA, Oregon and USC. Of course, USC and UCLA are soon set to join the B1G.
