2016 four-star Michigan commitment Brad Hawkins officially announced on Friday that he will be enrolling at Suffield Academy in Connecticut, meaning he will not sign or enroll with the Wolverines this year.

Hawkins, who committed to Michigan over South Carolina, North Carolina and a host of others last year, was recruited as an athlete by the Michigan staff and could have ended up playing either safety or wide receiver with the program.

It is currently unclear whether or not Michigan will continue to recruit Hawkins, although sources have told us that the door remains open for him to eventually join the program.

The four-star was ranked seventh in the state of New Jersey for the 2016 class.
