Hopewell (VA) 2021 five-star running back TreVeyon Henderson will officially visit Michigan the weekend of June 19th, 247Sports confirmed on Wednesday morning. Henderson was named the top running back in the cycle by 247Sports on Wednesday after a new re-rank in the 2021 class.

The five-star has been on Michigan's campus already and is considered one of their top overall targets in the class. Our 247Sports national analysts have compared him to former Georgia star and current New England Patriots running back Sony Michel:

Frame to play cornerback or running back but must add size. Elite athleticism. Quick feet, loose hips allow for impressive change of direction. Offers position versatility. Accelerates well and has top end speed. As running back, combines vision and patience. Gets through hole quickly. Elusive in space. Effective pass catcher. As cornerback, comfortable and low in backpedal. Tight on receiver’s hip out of breaks. Drives on balls thrown in front. Tracks passes well. Physical hard hitter playing downhill. Sheds blocks and makes tackles in run game. Effective in press and off coverage. Must add strength, particularly in upper body. Adding mass to frame is important. Multi-year starter at Top 10 program. Day 3 NFL draft potential.

Michigan signed their top running back targets in both 2019 and 2020 with Zach Charbonnet and Blake Corum inking with the Wolverines the last two classes. Henderson and the nation's #2 running back in Donovan Edwards are arguably the staff's top two targets in 2021. Michigan is in striking distance for both prospects. Henderson is currently ranked 11th overall in the class.

The foundation of the 2021 cycle looks really strong for Jim Harbaugh and company with early commitments from Top100 prospects J.J. McCarthy (quarterback) and Giovanni El-Hadi (offensive line).

The Michigan coaching staff has put themselves in strong early position with a plethora of elite prospects, including in-state stars Edwards (running back) and Rocco Spindler (two-way lineman) among others.

Michigan will also move onto the 2021 cycle without one of their best recruiters in safeties coach Chris Partridge, who departed for Ole Miss in early January. The Wolverines are currently led on the trail by tight ends coach Sherrone Moore, offensive line coach Ed Warriner and running backs coach Jay Harbaugh among others.

The Wolverines finished the 2019 season with a record of 9-4. All four losses came to Top15 teams, with two on the road. The Wolverines will look to rebound in 2020 as they open their season against Washington on the road. They will host Penn State and Wisconsin among others and will also travel to Minnesota, Michigan State and Ohio State. Michigan will return big-time contributors across the board on both sides of the football, including wide receiver Nico Collins and defensive end Kwity Paye among others.
