Michigan football has a bountiful supply of talent at quarterback and they just added the 2021 No. 2 pro-style passer in J.J. McCarthy. Could his traveling mate from this weekend be close to a Michigan commitment?

J.J. McCarthy wasn’t alone when he visited Ann Arbor this weekend and announced his commitment to Michigan football. He traveled with another Illinois native and the No. 1 player out of the state for the 2020 class, receiver A.J. Henning.

Henning, who was thought to be leaning toward Notre Dame, hinted at a Michigan commitment shortly after McCarthy made his decision.

Congrats brother … looks like I’m next #GoBlue

247Sports Allen Trieu had this to say about Henning.

Compact build. Not a kid who stands out on the hoof, but has a well-developed upper and lower body. Has elite speed. Great burst and acceleration and can score from anywhere on the field. Very good hands. Catches the ball well away from his body and shows the ability to go up and catch passes that are above his head. Good lower body strength and will break tackles. More of a kid that will run past defenders than a make-you-miss in a phone booth guy. Shows some elusiveness after the catch. Versatile and can play in the backfield, slot or as an outside receiver. Needs to still continue to work on route-running and wide receiver technique if that is what he will do more of in college. Has dealt with some injuries, so staying healthy will be key for him in college. A true home-run threat and one of the more electric players in his class.

A.J. holds a 9572 composite rating and is the No. 15 WR in the country and ranked No. 77 nationally. At The Opening Regional in April, Henning ran a 4.46 forty, 4.08 shuttle and was listed at 5-foot-9.5-inches, 182 pounds.

Should Henning decide to commit to Michigan football, he would be the only wide receiver so far for the 2020 class.

Michigan native Maliq Carr is another receiver the Wolverines are targeting and all eight of his crystal balls have him coming to Ann Arbor.
