On this special edition of The Michigan Recruiting Insider, Sam Webb and Steve Lorenz discussed the commitment of White (Ga.) offensive lineman Bear McWhorter. Though ranked a three-star by 247, sources say the Michigan coaching view talented youngster as a top-five offensive lineman in the class. A former Arkansas commitment, McWhorter held offers from Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Penn State, Miami, LSU, Florida, Florida State, Clemson, Georgia, and host of others, but ultimately chose Michigan over Alabama. The reasons behind that decision and a detailed scouting report are highlighted in the episode.
