Michigan has successfully reeled in one of their major defensive targets as Lakeland (FL) Lake Gibson three-star defensive end Reuben Jones committed to the Wolverines.

Jones met with Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh early this week and gave a memorable quote of sorts to describe his visit with the new head man.

"It went GREEEEEEAAAAAAT", he told Wolverine247 via text on Thursday. "I am excited for my visit."

Jones, who was committed to Nebraska until 24 hours before he took his official visit to Ann Arbor, was one of the first offered prospects by the new staff and defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, who views him as a potential hybrid DE/LB in the mold of soon-to-be NFL first round pick Dante Fowler at Florida.

The Wolverines beat out Michigan State and mainly Louisville for his pledge after Jones decommitted from the Huskers on Thursday. His Crystal Ball took a drastic turn from Louisville to Michigan after many speculated he would consider cancelling his official visit after his Louisville trip. He did not, and he is now a member of Jim Harbaugh's class.
