Toledo (OH) Central Catholic 2017 four-star defensive end James Hudson has committed to Michigan over Michigan State, he tweeted on Monday morning.

Hudson, who was believed to be down to the two schools, was on Michigan's campus for the second time in a little over a month when he decided to pull the trigger and commit after a visit with Greg Mattison and Jim Harbaugh over the weekend. His commitment gives the Wolverines a fifth defensive lineman this cycle, with four-stars Luiji Vilain, Corey Malone-Hatcher, Aubrey Solomon and three-star Phillip Paea already on board.

Michigan's focus on the defensive line will become even more narrowed now on South Jordan (UT) Bingham Top50 overall defensive tackle Jay Tufele. He's been a top target for both Michigan and Ohio State, and it could come down to those two programs for his services.

Hudson is the tenth ranked player in the state of Ohio according to the 247Sports Composite in the 2017 class. He holds offers from Miami (FL), Penn State, Tennessee and a host of others.
