Michigan football added to its 2012 recruiting class on Friday. Akron safety Jarrod Wilson committed to the Wolverines over Notre Dame and Penn State, becoming the 18th or 19th member of the 2012 class depending on who you ask.
Technically, Wilson is the 19th 2012 recruit to commit to Michigan. By Wilson committing to Michigan, though, Jeremy Clark is now going to grayshirt and won't actually count against the Wolverines' 2012 scholarship numbers. In that regard he will really be a 2013 commit even though he is a 2012 recruit (if that makes any sense).
Regardless, Wilson and Clark are committed to join the Michigan football program in the future. Wilson will be in Ann Arbor next year and will be a very nice addition to the secondary. He is a four-star safety on Rivals, Scout, ESPN and 24/7 Sports.
Wilson's offer list, according to Rivals, includes UConn, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Syracuse, UCLA, Vanderbilt and West Virginia.
